Pros

Awesome benefits package!!! This is a great company for an established person with a family!

Cons

They hire more veterans than most companies, however, they fire a lot of them for stupid reasons! I'm a VFW, and after two years working as a Software Developer, I was let go because the manager was running hot on his project budget and doing horrible on employee satisfaction ratings. He used every excuse in the book to get me out the door, and finally succeeded after the project was set to slow down again. There is a lot of back-stabbing. Senior developers will belittle you and your efforts to appear to be superior in skill. Management is too busy in meetings to know what's going on, so they tend to rely on senior developers to be their eyes/ears. All in all, USAA does NOT care too much about their members, otherwise they would do everything in their power to hold on to them as employees.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
