Pros

If you are going to lose your house, they hire anyone that has a pulse.

Cons

Long hours, no work-life balance, just work. Not a place for family or career growth. Very low pay. No training. There is a huge education department for new hires that just covers the computer basics. For everything else, you have to figure it out. Outdated computer systems that fails frequently. Expensive health insurance that increases every year, but the coverage goes down. Extremely high turnover. The new 401k policy for 2018 will accumulate the contribution match for the whole year. Then deposit it in the first quarter of next year. The match is only 3% and 20% vests every year starting in year 3. If you leave before the first quarter, the match will not be paid. Even though it is only a 3%x20%=0.6% match, every bit helps because the pay is so low. Leadership lacks skills. They were promoted because there was nobody else. All the good people have left, but they can’t leave because they are no good. They only care about their bonus and will mow you down to get it.

Pros

* Work from Home * Management seems to really care * Career mobility within the company * Company is technology agnostic -- if you have interest in a technology, there is a team using it.

Cons

* Large, large company -- sometimes it's a struggle to figure out which team is responsible for a widget. * OMG - beuacratic at times * 401K/PTO/Holidays are slightly below average * Not a bad company -- not a great company
