Pros

Work from Home and summer hours

Cons

The company only invests in Vice Presidents and above. Everyone else is not considered a "leader". Directors, managers, individual contributors are told what to do and not think. The only one seen as capable to strategize is the VPs.

Pros

- Good benefits - Free lunch on Fridays - Nice office - Occasional breakfast - Company sponsored happy hour - Annual bonus - Annual Christmas party - My interactions with the company's leadership team was positive - I met some really good people during my time there

Cons

I worked in the Customer experience department before 2016. I had to leave because of the toxic work environment that was created by a former manager and his team lead. I am a person of color and my White former manager and White team lead used microaggression and differential treatment to make my life a living hell. I left because I didn't feel comfortable allowing an old White male to demote and tell me that his dream was to see me in an administrative role handling faxes, emails, voicemail and phone calls, just a few days before I received a new manager. I will never forget the experience and how it made me feel. Also, I would never work for the company again because of the negative experience and the amount of effort that placed into stunting my professional growth.

Pros

Managers and directors are involved but do not micromanage, encourage you to take on new challenges and listen to your input. Peers are incredibly smart and do not hesitate to help you if you ask for it.

Cons

Very fast paced, you will get left behind if you don’t learn quickly. Most executives are out of touch with changing office culture, especially that of IT workers.

Pros

* Good benefits like healthcare and 401k options * Some people are extremely intelligent and dedicated to the work / excellent mentors * Somewhat decent work/life balance depending on the time of year * Enormous budget to always have nicest things to work with * Easy to access location next to retail and eateries * Generally nice people to work with * Challenging work * "guise" of doing a greater good for the people of the United States

Cons

* Top heavy management structure. * Completely disconnected from reality C-levels (talk way too candidly about their time playing golf, spending weeks at their vacation homes,or private jets), those things are nice, but be honest that most people working for you don't have the millions you do. * Projects drag on for years, often with very little input from management for direction. * It's clear some employees carry the burdens of many others. Helpdesk and customer service teams constantly given more and more to do while other teams and managers sit and put together Lego sets or play video games. Cross training is always talked about but never seems to happen. * Little way in terms of advancement, lateral moves are most of what I've personally seen, the only time promotions occurred is if someone left the company for a term, and then came back and applied for a higher position. * People Managers are aloof, or not even qualified to be in their positions, and not in tune with the needs of the people doing the work. A certain degree of nepotism exists and some people are merely kept on because they have tribal knowledge of a product that has never been written down and they are the only ones that know how to solve specific issues with tech debt that they themselves created. * Employee review system is aweful, most people spend the first 6 mos of any year either resting from the previous year's sprint, or slacking off, then mid term reviews come in and everyone seems to push to meet their goals in a compressed schedule. When you have to work cross functionally between departments, this can cause extreme levels of burnout. * Multiple solutions are purchased, and often the worst one or two options are used, which incur a lot of needless stress to manage the applications. * In the same tune, management sugar-coats problems to their middle managers, and middle managers sugar coat to VP's, by the time it reaches the C-Suite, everything is "awesome" * At the end of the day you eventually realize you are working for a monopoly (but must never utter that word in the office) which only exists to benefit large pharma companies and lobbies to derail a real single payer system in the US and keep the private insurance status quo. * If the going gets rough, they will cut you loose with no remorse, IE. when products discontinued, personal issues, using up your FMLA, etc. They will lay you off or dismiss you without a second thought.
