Horrible Experience.

Pros

Decent pay and allowance for training.

Cons

TLDR - It was a exceptionally difficult place to be. Frequently absent leadership that relies on process rather than actually understanding teams needs. To start, agile processes are good but our particular process was put in a position where management would funnel all directives and capacity through the scrum master. The problem is this person did not have the faculties to understand or accept what we were actually able to do. This person also would frequently talk over everyone and side-step any actual progress by directing the meeting into a different direction as soon as we began to get on a clarity on any given subject or the next day make up a whole new process where we needed to start all over again. Additionally, developers where treated in a demoralizing and demeaning manor, both in being condescendingly talked over or totally misunderstood. We were not trusted to do our day to day technical job.

Pros

-competitive 401k match. (6%) -most colleagues are nice -very stable bank -work life balance is excellent

Cons

-MICROMANAGEMENT- if you get a job within operations, expect to be micromanaged. Management expects you to update them on what you are doing every hour of the day. They will literally walk around and ask you what you are doing again and again. And at the end of the day expect you to write down a timesheet that breaks down everything you’ve done for the day. And the next day will question every small thing you did. -horrible work environment and paternalistic work culture. While colleagues are generally nice people, the unrealistic expectations as well as the micromanagement fosters a very hostile atmosphere that colleagues cannot even talk or get to know each other. The moment you try to even have a brief chat with a colleague about anything, managers will give you a side eye and will make some snarky comment about whether you have enough work on your plate. Absolutely awful. -compensation is some of the lowest in the industry -technology is EXTREMELY backdated. -you cannot work from home (even though most of your responsibilities can be done remotely). -zero room for advancement. If you’re hired for another role internally, you will get about a 2-3% raise. Only specific people are picked for promotions and higher raises and everyone else is ignored no matter how hard you work. -the health insurance was a joke -unrealistic expectations. Managers expect every single employee to do several jobs at once but refuse to pay people higher salaries. Managers also are not thankful of employees efforts. -communication is horrible. Upper management disseminates information in a very inefficient manner. I was under the impression that upper management hoarded information from others. -very high turnover. This place is a revolving door. People come in, and eventually realize that there is a very toxic culture and leave. There have been periods where entire teams would be vacant for months at a time. -parental leave could be better If you want a decent career please look elsewhere.
