Pros

The pay is good and there's decent bonuses. I was a TDP and in my first rotation my team didn't give me a ton of opportunities to contribute or really learn. However, on my second rotation I met some great leaders and teammates who really cared about my growth and development and are genuinely good people. My manager now is awesome!

Cons

It is very team dependent on whether you'll have a good time at this company. If you don't have a good manager, you're kind of screwed during performance reviews which happen twice a year. PIP culture isn't great here and there's a mandatory percentage of people that get a below strong rating/PIP. I've seen some talented developers get PIP'd simply because their manager didn't care enough to fight for them.

Pros

Most advance tech stack. Cutting edge research

Cons

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
