Not a Serious Software Company - Associate Software Engineer H&R Block Employee Review

If you are a serious software engineer, I recommend you stick away from this company. All projects that I worked on have no architectural standards or optimization in mind. Everything seems "duct taped" together in hopes that it will work for the next tax season however this does not account maintenance of the code, resulting in more areas where projects can break. Also, with new management and organization changes, you will do little to no software development. Everything is done with an in house tool that have you connect the dots or map data but it is not coding. You are expected to learn all about taxes instead instead of developing your coding skills. In the long run you will lose your coding skills working at H&R Block. Also with little or no room for career development, it makes it almost impossible to advance as a software engineer.
