Pros

Friendly people Unlimited PTO Frequent spot awards and free lunches. Paid training Opportunities to learn a lot and advance your career Competitive compensation, they give decent raises without you even asking. Good 401K matching.

Cons

High stress, employees are over-tasked and management has very high expectations of employees. We are asked to do a very excessive number of things simultaneously. We are always being sidetracked from our main tasks. We are often obliged to work with systems and services that are half baked and that don't work, but it is company policy. Employees are left feeling very frustrated because they cannot make progress due to needing to use the required company solutions. It is basically very difficult to make any real progress due to their excessive number of rules and policies, which are often short sighted and do not work for half the company. This leaves employees feeling very unsatisfied with their work. Whenever something goes wrong, there is a very counter-productive blame game that goes on, where each manager blames the person beneath them until it all falls on the software engineers, and it is completely unfair.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
