Pros

Benefits package is good, was better before the downturn, but better than most. And currently still offers a pension to non-union employees.

Cons

SALARY!!!! WAGES!!!! Tough to break the a "ceiling" if you are female or minority. The company was ran better when Charles was CEO. A whole location workforce is "punished" for one persons wrongdoing, rather than dealing with the individual responsible for actions. Do not call the ethics hotline for anything, you will end up paying for it in the long run, regardless of legitimacy of your issue. Anonymous, it is not.

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.
