Pros

There are some very talented, sincere, and honest workers - these are the true heroes that need recognition! A few senior management and execs are looking out for you, and bless them! The product is good, the tech is good, and the surface-level friendliness is pleasant. The offices are nice.

Cons

Nobody wants to take on the responsibility to take on the task. Some say they're overworked, while others just know someone else will do it. Judgment, planning, management, and delivery are mediocre assignments across the organization. Very Cliquey and political if you don't build alliances with the right people, you could slide out of your role or be shifted elsewhere. Pivots and restructuring are way too common. I left because there was no shot at career development. Workflows are inefficient, and associates' suggestions get brushed under the rug. Some people act like they're too good to clean a toilet.

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
