Pros
Hybrid work
Immediate boss is great
Receive pay on time, annual bonus
Not all of the good people have left yet
Cons
*No CEO or senior OTS leadership, we are managed by client credit unions that do not understand technical work or challenges.
*"Manage By Spreadsheet" by client credit union representatives that are never happy. Everything is tracked whether it makes sense to or not.
*Too many cooks setting priorities, lack of clear priorities.
*Changing requirements after a project is approved, we are expected to meet the changing goals by the original live date.
*Town Hall meetings where stats and financials are recited to us, everyone is coached beforehand not to ask questions.
*Bringing a sense of urgency to everything we do is one of our values - everything is urgent.
*Unlimited PTO - they call it "Open PTO" - you do not actually get much of this time. Certain people get the PTO, others are asked to catch up on their tasks now that they have time because they are off. The paper trail has it as approved time off, but you don't really get to have it. You'll make up for the time off on your own time and still generally work your full week.
*Due dates are set by credit union clients that do not comprehend the amount of effort.
*You lose much of your weekends to work.
*Previous CEO removed our HR leader before leaving OTS himself, now we have a clueless HR and no one leading it.
