Not what it seems

Pros

Benefits, Salary, Remote work, flex time

Cons

Company culture seems amazing according to exec management emails and training but in reality the culture condones empire building and silo mentality behind closed doors. Expected to know and implement new tech with no formal training. Management makes decisions then requires team to be accountable for those decisions. Job requirements change without discussion with employees and employees are expected to do the new jobs that they are not trained for. Frequently our team is told if we are not happy with things then we can leave.

Pros

Those that have been with the company 5+ years are awesome and understand how to get work done.

Cons

Specific to certain areas of IT - Sr Leadership (new within the last 24months) doesn't understand the day to day work of the team and won't listen to anyone that was hear before them. Team dynamics are VERY different from those of counter parts offshore

Pros

Worked from home and no weekends

Cons

Absolutely hostile environment, bulling and shaming people were encouraged. Management bullied each other and employees. No organization. Worst experience I have encountered. They called it a start up but it was a new branch based off a billion dollar company.
