Pros

It's a stable place to work. There are some very knowledgable people who work here. I appreciate those who have trained and helped me. It's very hard to come by and it's unfortunate they are not appreciated or noticed by this company.

Cons

Every position feels like two jobs. They know they need to hire more people but are too cheap to do it. Management plays favorites. You will not move up unless you play buddy-buddy with upper management. They promote people who don't deserve it and don't know how to do the job. That or they "force" people to take job offers, it's "career suicide" if they decline. This doesn't help with morale. Gossip is everywhere and people don't know how to mind their own business. High turnover, low pay and benefits, a lot of unhappy people who want out.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
