Pros

The facilities. Some good employees that work hard. The pay was good. I struggle to find much more to say about the IT Org.

Cons

My viewpoints are purely on the IT Organization. I do not have much experience on the business side. Overall IT maturity is very immature in their people, process, and technologies. The management there is a dictatorship. They are very unprofessional. They lack experience. They have no idea how to motivate employees. Leadership for them is through intimidation, and not through inspiration. To make up for their lack of abilities they micromanage. They don't support their employees. In fact I've seen them throw people under the bus in front of large groups. Completely classless. In the time I spent there I watched 30 IT people walk out the door in a years’ time. Be aware that they lie to you about your performance because they think it’s motivational to say are doing a bad job after you were told you did a good job on something. I would avoid this company at all costs. If you have to work there because it is the last place on Earth that will hire you then maybe look to the IT Infrastructure org only.

Pros

Modern technology stack with opportunities to work on cloud systems, APIs, distributed architecture, and enterprise modernization efforts. There are smart engineers throughout the organization, and some teams genuinely care about delivering quality solutions. The technical challenges themselves can help accelerate growth in areas like Azure, React, system integration, and large-scale enterprise workflows.

Cons

The environment often felt highly results-driven without enough emphasis on communication clarity, collaboration, or healthy engineering alignment. Requirements and priorities shifted frequently while delivery pressure remained high. Many interactions across leadership and architecture boundaries felt transactional instead of collaborative, which could make engineers feel isolated rather than supported. Success often depended as much on navigating ambiguity and organizational dynamics as technical ability itself.
