Pros

- Great pay - at or above market - Excellent benefits - Great, knowledgeable coworkers

Cons

For the past year, IT has been going through a "standardization" process where they are attempting to make all regions and states use the same processes, job descriptions, etc. So they've informed all staff that you may or may not have to re-apply for your job, and your current job may or may not be a "standard" position in the new IT structure so there's a possibility that you might have to try to apply for another job in the organization or leave the company. The way that they're going about this is completely absurd. Before they even tell you exactly what is going to happen to your position, they are posting up jobs on the internal career site. The majority of IT staff are unsure about the security of their job, so everyone is applying for anything that comes up, regardless of whether or not they're happy in their current job. We are all stressed and everyday performance is suffering. Also, many staff are finding that their new supervisors/directors are now in OR or WA, along with other coworkers that are now part of their "team". There is a big disconnect and a feeling of desolation for staff that are not based in those states. If you are looking for a career in IT, stay away from this company for at least another year.

Pros

coworkers pay supporting people in community They post the same job in multiple locations because they are open to having that role exist in different locations in many cases (note the pay is also based on where as well though) Info for those reading reviews to get a picture: I'm United States, but India reviews should really be separate feedback entirely, paid less and fed daily (read location: Hyderabad).

Cons

My last management was completely toxic Had health issues and a valid claim that was ignored, only pressured Was pushed out by my management when they found out my salary Mgmt requested to submit feedback for improvement, then retaliated Since HR was outsourced and trying to protect the company from further lawsuits (I was not one but contemplated due to validity) of absolutely no help and honestly, completely inappropriate. You will be repeatedly asked to provide feedback, but it will be killed with a 1 on 1. If I had laid down and taken the angry repercussions of their poor process implementation, and their complete lack of accountability, I would still be there - I just would have transferred to another manager. Some managers and teams are more toxic than others, but favoritism and bullying are allowed and seen Overworked and under-represented but was great for several years.
