Pros

Decent work/life balance and great PTO policy

Cons

Loyalty and experience are not rewarded at all. Few learning resources and opportunities for career growth. Favoritism is the worst I've ever seen. Promotions are not given based on experience, ability, or seniority but rather personal relationships with management. In my unit, two people with less experience were promoted based on personal friendships with management. Management hires friends and then promotes them, creating a very exclusive environment. Very little guidance or support in day to day and longer term goals for division. Ability, skill, and experience are not the qualities that factor into promotions or raises. Raises are on average under 2% which is completely unacceptable and unsustainable for employees. Pay is far below industry average, even in higher cost of living areas.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
