Pros

Salary is pretty decent and certainly very competitive compared to other companies in this area. 401k match (6% match + 2% company contribution = 8%). Other benefits like health and tuition and contribution towards 1st house purchase also pretty good. Excellent training options Work from home flexibility. Work not complex.

Cons

Legacy technologies and applications. Very bureaucratic style of functioning. Lots of people managers who are not technical but whose approval/rubber stamping is required to get anything done. So a lot of politics. People who work will be expected to do even more while the majority of the team just coasts along. Work sometimes can seem not challenging and opportunities for promotion are lacking especially for technical contributors

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
