Pros

Your salary is decent. But considering their record profits year after year it could be more.

Cons

This place is awful in every sense of the word. Especially if you are a female of color. The place is dominated by white men and old white men. They do not respect you and will go mute on you instead of behaving like a normal coworker. Everyone is full of themselves even though they don’t know much of anything. Anything they do know is gatekept in order to create an awful hierarchy system. The organization of documentation is horrid! Good luck trying to do a good job because there will always be an obstacle like missing records. And when you reach out to people they will be rude and dismiss you because now they’re a supervisor and they haven’t been in that role you asked about in 3 years! Save yourself, find another job. The building is disgusting - leaking roofs and garbage bins to collect the leaks, mosquitos in the bathrooms, disgusting fridges and no break rooms. Not enough bathrooms since the building is overcrowded - so many people sitting in hallways to work… and conference rooms converted to “offices”. Oh and HR will not do anything about any complaints regarding employees. There’s an employee with a flag on his vehicle that parks in the front - represents well who this company will side with…

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
