Pros

(Scranton, PA). Flexible work schedule. Benefit Plan.

Cons

(Scranton, PA). Managerial corruption and dishonest metric practices. As an employee, I was repeatedly asked to change quantitative results produced by tested repeatable processes. These results were used to gauge performance of teams and customer feedback. Not rewarded based on performance. Its not how well you worked or any type of quantitative, quality of output that dictated your bonus at the end of the year. It was based off of who you knew and your associations outside of work.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
