Pros

Decent pay Cutting edge technology Very smart people Very friendly people An amazing atmosphere if you're young and single. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is hungry to succeed and has the time to do so.

Cons

This is a terrible place for a family man/woman. You are expected to come in 3 days a week on top of getting certified for new technologies (on your own time, you will not be given time to do so), a big list of HR related "classes", and also keeping up with a mountain of work while (for senior developers) also helping junior developers finish their work or learn the required technologies. To add the cherry on top, you may be required to work weekends to the release teams. It's also by far the most corporate place I have worked for. You are not speaking to a person, you are speaking to what their job title is. There seems to be an implicit ask that you grovel to people with more seniority.

Pros

I think I got very lucky with the team and manager I had. They were great and the work life balance was great. I really got to learn a lot as this was my first job out of college. All of this growth is def attributed to the great manager I had.

Cons

They really don't care about you as an employee. Working in tech I was expecting to work from home until it was 100% safe to return. We've been working remotely since March 2020 and we've kept the company running. They rewarded us by cutting pay raises while the company had record profits. They made us return to work with a flex hybrid model and they aren't mandating vaccines for employees returning. I don't feel safe at work. I have people on my team that are anti-vax and I'm still expected to return to work and interact with them. With the rising delta cases I expected us to return to full time work form home, but management has just doubled down instead and they expect us all to wear masks now at work. They know they will be losing talent due to the return to office plan and they are ok with. Management has stated they are ok with the expected attrition. They don't value domain level knowledge at all.

Pros

-good opportunities to learn (global morning meeting call) -a few decent people that will support you during your time there and beyond -salary

Cons

I have PTSD from working here especially as 1) a woman 2) a person of color. Forget it. Save yourself. It’s an awful culture. They act like this is IB when it’s not. Not everything has to be so urgent. They will talk down on you if you’re a woman and again especially if you’re POC. It’s a white male dominated industry. That will never change. Wake up! It’s 2021. The women who work here are intense because they have to be and in turn I never felt supported by them. They felt like they worked hard to get to where they were and that’s that. There is so much bureaucracy. I was also client facing but the client service associates who do all the back end work deserve to be paid more. That will reduce turnover and make them a bit happier. So many politics. I hate office politics more than anything and this is one place people will backstab you. Be prepared. They also hate when you want a higher education. Beware. I’m going for my MBA now and they laugh at that. I would have stayed for the actual work but the culture is just so, so awful.
