Pros

We at SurePayroll are now using new tools like JIRA, Confluence & Git. We are breaking our monolithic application into Micro services, we are using RabbitMQ, SOLR, we are planning to deploy using Dockers. Within 1 year, entire landscape has changed. The IT department has gone from slow paced to working on cutting edge & fast paced. We are even planning to build our UI using Angular 2.0. QA team is focused heavily on Automation using Selenium. Under new leadership in IT, there is renewed sense of urgency and this is good. For last few years, I feel we were slowing down and now we are getting back to be a top player. If we continue like this, we will be one of the most innovative company in Chicago area.

Cons

Developers are taking little more time to learn newer technologies. But we will get this done. Part of change at SurePayroll.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, unlimited time off.

Cons

From the start, it was uncomfortably obvious that at least half of the people in marketing had problems with one another. You could actively feel the tension in every interaction: during video calls, in email threads, even in Slack chats, etc. At first, I blamed structural issues. The various marketing teams were set up in a confusing way, and it wasn’t clear who owned what or who made final decisions. So I understood why everyone felt like their toes were being stepped on. However, I really think it goes beyond that. There’s a fundamental lack of respect, and it’s led to an extremely negative and passive aggressive environment. The pay is slightly above market value, which is what led me to accept the job in the first place (despite one of my pre-employment interviews with the team being so tense and uncomfortable that the hiring manager actually had to apologize). However, I really wish I had trusted my gut. My experience at SurePayroll was by far my least favorite of my entire career.
