Pros

Nice perks (free soda, massages, free lunch once a week) Most people were generally friendly

Cons

If most of the negative reviews seem to be from Appleton, it's because management clearly showed that they did not value the employees in the Appleton location. There is obvious favoritism. The technology team and management are not open suggestions for improvement or other perspectives and will either completely ignore it or actually tell people to stop giving feedback (!). The culture is very cliquey and unless you are willing to suck up, your suggestions for improvement will not be taken seriously. Communication between the two locations is very poor and it can take an unreasonable amount of time to get an answer to a simple question. This is compounded by the fact that nobody really seem to know what parts of the system are supposed to be doing.

Pros

Good remote work. Full stop.

Cons

The company operates on a very tight budget and was understaffed during my tenure. As a result, you will be expected to cover 3+ roles simultaneously and work well over 8 hours a day to keep up with management’s expectations. Consider it only if you are passionate about the second mortgage industry (???). This is the only company I regret having on my resume.
