Pros

Many people believe that only disgruntled employees leave comments on Glassdoor - I assure you that's not the case here. Just an unvarnished description of my experiences. Senior management is strong though risk averse. Strong Java shop (for Omaha). Most of the engineers are over 35 so much older crowd.

Cons

Engineers lack the inspirational creativity you'd find in a strong West Coast or East Coast shop. Says a lot about Omaha. Middle management doesn't really do anything - constantly late, micromanagement, contradictory orders. Politics and flattery are the primary way the middle managers get ahead. Lots of racism. Company prides itself on being "fintech" when it's really a "hey we can build you a fancy GUI because you can't". Arbitrarily implement Agile (they don't know what they're doing).

Pros

They use leading edge tools and offer flexible hours. The CEO is honest, impassioned, and believes in the product. They prefer to hire colleagues of current employees.

Cons

Methodology used is waterfall, disguised as agile. Product is consistently late. Environment is very political, the opinions of the friends of higher-ups are favored. People back-stab and at times even refuse to talk to each other. They do not give employees any direction, feedback, or performance reviews, you either stay, leave, or get promoted, based on your own instincts and ability to figure out what they want. They do not require long hours, but seem to appreciate it. Turnover is extremely high (over 50% per year). High quality work and long-term dedication is at best not acknowledged, certainly ignored, and can lead to being taken for granted.
