Pros

-Lots of cool events -free swag -too much food

Cons

-Technical direction is horrible. For a company that prides itself on "being a tech company that happens to do mortgages", is a lie. Not to say that they are horrible, but its not the best tech. -No career path for developers

Pros

The overall culture here is unmatched. The management wants people who work hard and play hard, and they go out of their way to enable you and make it fun. Plus everyone goes out of their way to help you, which is important, the learning curve is steep. Training-they offer so many different training sessions it is unbelievable. You have at minimum 2 training sessions every month on best practices, and you can sign up for as many subjects as you like. And beyond that everyone goes out of their way to help you, as I said above. Team Leaders are more facilitators, you are very enabled to accomplish any of your goals. Benefits are very good, decent bonuses, good medical, and a dental program which is actually worth getting.

Cons

Only negative is 401k match is a little lower than average, then again other benefits are pretty good to make up for it.

Pros

There is no shortage of interesting and challenging problems to solve. I have had the opportunity to work on projects in nearly every area of the business. You are only limited by the amount of effort you want to put in. I work with so many incredibly smart people who all care about doing the right thing and making the right decisions for our clients. The best thing is that we are trusted to try new things and given the opportunity to fail and try something new. If there is a new technology, we have the freedom to try it and make a case for it. This has been the best job I have had and I hope to stay for many more years.

Cons

Sometimes too much focus process rather than getting things done. Can be a lot of hoops to jump through sometimes when you need to get approval for things.
