Pros

Collect a paycheck for doing nothing all day because executives are too incompetent to manage their resources. Be treated like a monarch if you are a diversity hire. New hires can get 3 months of free training and then leave for somewhere better.

Cons

Potential bonus money is wasted on lawsuit payouts, legal fines, upgrading an office and then moving to a new office a year later, and other frivolous nonsense. I'll just take my higher bonus money, thank you. Executives don't seem to know how the company even works or makes money. They assign 90% of the tech team to work on projects that are money sinks, while 10% work on the one application that makes money.

Pros

Company benefits (healthcare, PTO) were adequate

Cons

No communication from uppper management. Any communication that does occur is vague, unhelpful, or nonsensical per the actual day to day needs of the business. Direct managers will be told one thing and communicate this to the team, only to then say the complete opposite a week later. This includes critical things such as the basic requirements for the job title. Job title and duties can change at the drop of a hat and without proper guidance or support from management. I witnessed several of my colleagues being literally forced out of their positions because the entire nature of the job title had changed and no longer accomodated people who had been working for years. The same technical issues that were consistent when I began the job were still a persistent issue when I left, despite consistent complaints being made. Micro management to the extreme, and direct managers play favorites. Customers’ information is not secure and there are not adequate methods being taken to make sure that fraud or predatory practices are not taking place. Employees are given sparse accomodations, and any accomodations given are treated like a nuisance or bother for the direct managers.
