Pros

I was able to work there for almost 8 years. Most people are good people. Made some great friends. Work/Life balance.

Cons

Laid of with no warning in a 5 minute MS Teams meeting on a Friday with 45 others. Could not access my work immediately after. My job search and portfolio are suffering because of it. Low Pay. Not competitive at all. Low Moral. Constantly putting out fires instead of acting on improving software. Archaic code base. No Design system. Once you accept an job offer, don't expect a good raise (below 1% most years) Have been offshoring many jobs to Peru and Philippines and removing American Workers. You may get screwed out of a bonus depending on who you know...or don't know. Advancement is difficult. You can get promoted with no raise. Communication and transparency are terrible. Insurance is awful. High cost and high deductible. You can find a better place to work.

Pros

Great teamwork. Overall very nice experience with interactions in other teams as well. Healthy & competitive PTO plan. In my team, management is wonderful, not requiring a person to put work over family - they encourage family/ work balance.

Cons

Wish there was a PPO health plan in the offered plans. Only has high-deductible plans. However, this year added an offering for supplemental AFLAC plan to help with that high deductible that is reasonably priced.
