Pros

Free coffee and free food on Friday to attract people to come back to office building where they spent millions, waste of money.

Cons

The current work environment has become toxic, marked by micromanagement, blame-shifting, and a lack of genuine leadership. Many managers display poor management practices, yet HR consistently sides with them, leaving engineers unsupported. This shows little regard for the engineers who keep systems running, drive innovation, and dedicate significant effort to advancing the company and growing membership. Additionally, there are too many layers of management, with some managers prioritizing personal gain over team success. They manipulate performance ratings to secure a larger share of the bonus pool, often at the expense of their direct reports. Such practices undermine morale, fairness, and innovation across the organization.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Great benefits- 7% 401K match, 3% pension, $1K HSA match. 4 weeks vacation and 2 weeks sick leave. Discounted rate on mortgage or auto loan. Company really values tenure and employee retention. Hybrid schedule with 3 times a week for people leaders, 2 times a week for individual contributors.

Cons

Ver relationship-based. If you can't network, you likely won't have much upward mobility. Can be bureaucratic depending on your leadership.

Pros

Pay can be decent at times Met some great people

Cons

Processors are the garbage can of the entire loan process. We literally are help to such insane standards with no support. Apparently it’s been this way for years and even high ranking supervisors say they feel like they’re talking to a brick wall when they voice our frustrations. Since my time here that have been at least 2 employees that I’ve heard of that have either attempted jumping off our building or actually did jump off. Like how can you not implement change when people are so stressed that they are jumping off our buildings? If anyone is reading this and wondering how the stress gets that bad it’s because the better you do the more money you get but they keep raising the bar so when you’re use to that extra income and now you have to do so much more to get that extra income that you’re used to it can break a person down and higher ups know how bad we’re breaking down. It’s completely normal for a half hour workforce to go on mental health leave during the summer which is our busy season and still nothing is done. I haven’t even been here a full year. What is it going to take to actually implement a change?
