Word To The Wise

Business Outlook

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout

Terrible experience in the technology team

Pros

A lot of good people, unfortunately most are prevented from doing good work by senior management

Cons

Terrible executive management, particularly in the IT group. Pay was way less than what I earned elsewhere fro similar roles. My boss was a revolving door, went through 4 managers in about 1.5 year period, each one progressively less talented and having less of an understanding of what my team did.

financial benefits are pretty good

Cons

internal recruiters will ghost you. frequently hires gen Z with 1 job out of college for very high level managerial roles, skipping gen X. Major trend followers as a business...15-20 years behind major corp's outsourcing business, ending pension, etc.
