Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits, inclusive work environment. I would only recommend this company if there is a boom in the mortgage industry.

Cons

What was once a strong culture is now quickly eroding that it is a public company. There are no opportunities for career growth based on merit and accomplishments but instead based on favoritism and bootlicking ability. There is also little difference between what junior, mid-level, and senior developers do.
