Pros

Lots of opportunities to solve interesting problems with great people. Fantastic new office. Lots of opportunities for continued learning. You get the sense that the company really cares about its employees. Great leadership team - and lots of opportunities to meet with them face to face.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging sometimes as a software developer. The company still runs on a lot of classic systems that can make integration difficult.

Pros

Remote work, first 2 weeks of the 2 month training, offers sick time before PTO rolls in

Cons

Little to no worklife balance, toxic positivity (like when they called the meeting about taking away our bonuses “exciting news” and tried to gaslight us as to why this was a good thing), extreme micromanagement, listening to our headsets constantly without us knowing, AI rating our metrics, unrealistic expectations, you basically do 4 jobs in one (at Carvana, appraisals / selling, financial applications and documents / EPUs, sales and customer service were ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
