Pros

Great colleagues to work with.

Cons

Senior management is set in their ways, poor management style overall. Employees are left to fend for themselves and poor growth potential. Managers do not value employees at all and tend to take credit for employees work. Poor promotion potential and if you are not liked you will either be terminated or demoted. Leadership has been there in WM IT for over 15+ years and only a detriment to the environment. Employees are afraid to speak up and management is retaliatory.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
