      Pros

      - Working here has been a charm, lots of interesting projects + technologies to work with - Tight knit team, good local team managers - Good work-life balance, you work your hours and you're done.

      Cons

      - Upper management (corporate) don't know what they're doing, with constant leadership changes - the overall business goal also changes every few months aligning with this - No room for career growth, promotions are rewarded based on years of experience rather than merit - Slow business processes halt development time - getting blocked by 3 months of testing, various sign-off procedures is extremely frustrating when development was supposed to be continuous

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
