Pros

*Good location *If you’re lucky, you’ll get a desk with a view *Big org so it’s likely you’ll make some real friends here

Cons

*Healthcare benefits: the tiny bonus and laughable raise do not compensate for the increased insurance premiums (the worst I’ve gotten from an employer) *Political battlefield with stakeholders. Don’t be fooled, the merchants and marketing still call the shots at this retailer *So many meetings that you’ll often find yourself working late at night to get real work done *Weak management. It’s corporate GoT and everyone is expendable *High turnover, mgmt spends the majority of time attempting to hire rather than focus on nurturing your career growth *WFH is restricted depending on the team you join and the level you rank, you are not treated equally *Don’t even expect to get more than 1 piece of fruit per week, tea bags and bad coffee. This ain’t a tech company silly! *Practically no HR dept (good luck with the 1 hr wait with the call center) and IT just got outsourced - so don’t even think about having an issue fixed in a timely manner

Pros

Great people to work with, life/work balance was nice. Some of the original Macy's spirit still exists.

Cons

IT leadership has become desperate. Most decisions are based around fear and the teams only care about themselves and their upper management.

Pros

Good work-life balance. Made some good colleagues in the work place.

Cons

Not doing much projects. Company keep restructuring, they underpay their software engineer. It is still a retail company that focuses on retail. Technology is just a way to complement and not to go behind other retail store. Too many higher up management title, and too little junior position engineer that can help make the technology grow.
