Pros

It was a good place to work. Good 401k match. They used to have good raises (they used to be 10% each year) but Todd needs his bonuses so now they’re 1%.

Cons

The CIO Hari Govind is a coward. He implemented a new “up or out” system where we have to PIP out the bottom 10% every quarter. Senior management has asked multiple times for town halls or large group meetings to explain this along with other bs “metrics” but he’s always out of office. Hey Hari, if these plans are so great why can’t you stand behind them? Todd’s a coward too. The only time I’ve heard anything from him is when he decided to lay off 6% of the workforce two months before Christmas in a form email. But hey he got a $4 million bonus. Everyone is jumping ship. I coached my developers to leave as well while the goings good.

Pros

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
