Pros
-In the mortgage industry, tech projects are challenging and really require cutting-edge solutions -As with most companies, the team members are the heart and soul of this place (especially the corporate team members) -A few good leaders here and there These are the only reasons that kept me at a two-star rating instead of a one.
Cons
Financial Woes -The company seems to be hemorrhaging money fast -Many departments are running on skeleton crews Technology -The company fronts as a tech wonder in the industry, it isn't. Sure they have a few innovative ideas, but they always fall apart or don't reach fruition in the long run -Project management feels chaotic, with new ideas thrown around every couple of months without a clear plan Job Security -Multiple layoffs each year seem to be the norm -Even if you’re crucial to your team, your job will still be on the cutting board -Recent layoffs appear mostly linked to cash flow, but there’s a history of letting people go for "cultural fit," which has left a lot of folks scratching their heads and not having strong beliefs towards company culture Sales Team Pressure -The sales environment is all about performance: either you deliver, or you’re out. Sure, you can say that about any sales department, but this one seems a bit more aggressive. Just a warning! -If you’re a Loan Originator without a big client base or an impressive track record, you might only have 2-3 months to show performance before they part ways -There’s not much in the way of career development, despite the sales huddles they hold Some Stories To Note A few months ago, they let go of someone from HR on a whim, then realized they needed them back, only to let them go again a month later. Seriously, who does that? Just before these layoffs, they gave out long-overdue raises and promotions, only to turn around and lay those same people off weeks later. Again, what were they thinking?
