Pros

-food -buildings are always clean -decent benefits

Cons

Management has zero idea what any of their workers do. They will use and abuse you in order to make themselves look good. Most of management has been with the company for years and basically if you brown nose your way up the ladder you’ll get there no matter what type of skills you may have... or lack for the matter. You can be proficient in everything and yet you will get little to no raise or opportunity for one. If you aren’t kissing someone’s butt then you aren’t going to make it very far in this company. Forget about good work ethic because as long as you’ve been here long enough you can be as negative and lazy as you please. The workplace is heavily revolves around politics and whether or not you know someone who is higher up.

Pros

Modern technology stack with opportunities to work on cloud systems, APIs, distributed architecture, and enterprise modernization efforts. There are smart engineers throughout the organization, and some teams genuinely care about delivering quality solutions. The technical challenges themselves can help accelerate growth in areas like Azure, React, system integration, and large-scale enterprise workflows.

Cons

The environment often felt highly results-driven without enough emphasis on communication clarity, collaboration, or healthy engineering alignment. Requirements and priorities shifted frequently while delivery pressure remained high. Many interactions across leadership and architecture boundaries felt transactional instead of collaborative, which could make engineers feel isolated rather than supported. Success often depended as much on navigating ambiguity and organizational dynamics as technical ability itself.
