Pros

Work from home opportunities. Fair compensation and benefits as compared to most companies this size Many really nice people work there.

Cons

As a software developer you have to deal with a lot of bureaucracy. Very boring work too. Disorganized projects ie several contractors working on a single project at different times results in poor documentation and many inconsistencies.

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.
