Pros

This place makes sure their employees are treated well. Lots of smart people working here. Benefits: - 6% full 401K match that is 100% vested from day 1. - Yearly bonus which can be above 100% of your bonus percentage depending on how the company did that year. - Additional bonus contributions to your 401K. - Yearly salary and bonus increases. - Fairly competitive pay. There are still many non-FAANG companies that will pay more, but the retirement benefits are hard to beat. - Discounted rates on health insurance by getting a yearly physical exam. - HSA contributions if you have a HDHP. - Unlimited PTO (some may see this as a con).

Cons

Although they are moving towards modernizing their code base/architecture with AWS, I feel they are still figuring out what works and what doesn’t so there are some growing pains to deal with. They have an office in India so you’ll have to work around time zone differences. There is a lot of poorly written code because coding standards are all over the place.

Empower Response

Thank you for your feedback. We provide comprehensive compensation for all associates, including base salary, bonuses, benefits, and discretionary non-elective 401k contributions. We are investing significantly in the modernization of our technology and making improvements to the stability of our builds and standardization of our processes.
