Pros

Good people, work-life balance, expanding, time off policies, benefits For the area, this is a great place to work. It partially depends on what team you're on, but I know there are some people that are very happy here.

Cons

Stagnant systems, still working on that "one company mindset" I'm personally not a fan of the Monroe area, but I also didn't grow up here. The systems I work on are stagnant, and I've watched an application grow with bad framework because requirements were changing so rapidly and it wasn't even supposed to be an application to start with. I don't think this is the norm here, but it is my experience.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
