Pros

Employee Stock plan is a great value. Overall benefits were excellent. The company is very stable with an 'all weather' business model. In house training/education is available and valuable. AI is fully embraced with a plethora of resources and support for training and creative uses in day to day work.

Cons

Culture is clearly profits over people, and anti remote employees despite acquiring a company (Black Knight Financial Services) with a significant number of remote employees due to offices that were closed during COVID. Remote employees are capped at a maximum 1% raise per year with no ability to apply for a promotion or different role/department unless you move to HQ in Atlanta, Jacksonville or NY. Leadership professes to embrace Agile but is dismantling any best practice and consistent improvements in lieue of a 'do more with less' approach. Effectively it is 'Agile by Teams chat'. There is a high percentage of employees on H1B1 Visas that seem to be willing to accept the 'work harder with less pay' culture. (Employees on a work visa are less able/likely to leave for another company.) Another strange company behavior is Director level roles that only have 1 or 2 reports (and no teams below them). This seems to be a way to pay favored employees higher salaries. The 'flexible PTO' is limited by policy (4 weeks) depending on the Senior Leader creating a discrepancy and is outside the HR guidelines. However, challenging the policy is communicated as being negative to career advancement.
