Pros

The pay is decent. Competitive for the sort of work. Benefits are good too. The people I work with are willing to work with you to learn

Cons

Beware relocation package and bonuses. If you leave before 2 years you'll have to pay it back. They also lied about the job. Once you're on site then reveal the truth; system engineering is called system manager. If you like administrative jobs, then it's perfect, but it is NOT engineering. I can't stress that enough. Morale is incredibly low. I believe because of the 2 cons I just gave. The software used is incredibly cumbersome; it's honeslty the hardest part of the job and it isn't particularly hard.

Pros

Compared to other companies… Exec leadership is good at change management communications. They make it obvious what they’re planning to do next as external pressures increase. Everyone has access to copilot There are a ton of benefits (but they’re confusing and disorganized). Parking rebate, education reimbursement program,

Cons

The worst tech organization I’ve ever worked with. Technology is extremely outdated and the people aren’t helpful. They’ll close your ticket without ever contacting you and you’re left spending hours going in circles. This makes their onboarding VERY difficult for new employees who can’t find anything. Customer service roles are very very unhelpful. For example- credit card group sent the job aid in response to a question, I shared with them the exact areas where the job aid links were broken and incomplete and got no response. Compensation was lower than the market by a significant margin.

Thank you for your positive comments regarding communication, AI access, and benefits. We recognize that reliable technology and responsive tech support are both critical to a positive employee experience —especially during onboarding. It’s concerning to hear that you encountered difficulty getting assistance and unresolved tickets. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback highlights areas where we clearly need to improve.
