Pros

Pay has gotten much better and standardized for programming positions within the last few years. Benefits are good, including an ESOP that usually does really well in year-to-year growth. The company has a lot of good things for people who want to make a career there, including a heath center, daycare, and an ESOP that can be a huge chunk of your retirement if you stay for a few years. Other pros include: Good gyms, street hockey, and basketball during breaks Onsite cafe Hybrid WFH rules are generally up to each manager, and many are willing to figure a system that works for both the team and worker. Good location right off I-89

Cons

There was a lot of resistance to modernize both company policies (Only recently did they dilettante between different levels of Software Engineer, post-Covid return-to-office was a huge push until they reversed course) and the tech stack (a majority of the programmers on one half of the company are working in RPG). While there are efforts to modernize their web tech, the distributor side has continued to lag behind industry standards to a worrying degree. Other minor cons include: Cubicles (I did not mind them, but others might)
