Pros

The people are amazing and are why people stay. The business is fast paced and challenging which is a benefit. They have solid onboarding program and mentorship throughout the engineering staff. They do allow permanent work from home and a pension. They are also actively trying to figure out how to keep their employees which is a plus.

Cons

Engineers are underpaid for market despite the company saying otherwise and they have no intention of paying market value. They have also used bonuses to seem as if they were going to get you a large bonus for the year based on the first half percentage, just to cut it back in the second half of the year. The lack of staff makes it difficult to keep good employees. Teams are continuously overworked and if they ask for a new employee to fill a void they have to jump through a lot of hoops. Talent continuously leaves due to how management handles employment and labels employees as disgruntled instead of addressing the issue at its core. Expect to work long hours, take your laptop on vacations and not be able to take PTO during projects and during the busy season.

Pros

Steady work for those who want to just maintain decades old code. If you are wanting to focus on non-career aspects of life this job provides steady income with little to no growth expectations. Best for mid-senior tech folks with their growth years behind them.

Cons

Off-shore is the tail wagging the dog and culture drives everything. Product managers own all tech decisions and teams are organized in hierarchical silos. Business Logic knowledge is hoarded within these. Onshore dev teams are used as overflow buffer for unplanned or undesirable work. Due to reliance on old tech and methods, great demands are placed on senior engineers. This results in a non-agile culture of missed opportunities and mediocrity which can be frustrating for anyone coming from a modern dynamic environment.
