Pros

Company is run well and employees some smart and hard working people. Have been able to weather downturns in the economy with strong focus on being efficient and investing in technology

Cons

Culturally the company is behind with the times. Professional attire required in the corporate office regardless of position. When it comes to perks, flexible work arrangements, etc. they don't seem to realize its the 2000s. Good boys vibe from C-Suite, and at times seems like they still think its the 1970s.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
