Pros

Bagel Fridays and Birthdays off. Scrum teams, for the most part, have amazing people who truly support each other despite poor leadership.

Cons

Leadership in Technology has no idea what they are doing. Everything is a priority so nothing is a priority. Delivery Services Leadership creates a toxic environment for all by keeping information from teams, not supporting their people and using them as scapegoats for their own incompetence. Project Keythithanathwhole continues with no target date and is causing high turnover in several departments but Leadership secretly knows this and loves this, completely is not aware, or hoping for the best. Which is not a good strategy.

Pros

Work life balance is actually great. The people you work with are smart and generally fun to work with

Cons

Roadmap is very disorganized, you kind of have to assume you will work on any random project each day

Pros

Good benefits and good culture

Cons

Very AI focused with constant fear of layoffs by employees (based on my experience). Pay isn’t great, especially given the current cost of living. Poor communication and planning regarding updates and project rollouts.
