Pros

Solid pay and good bonuses. Fail fast attitude and good work from home options.

Cons

Our benefits changed to Cigna right around when we started doing work for Cigna and the they have gotten bad and expensive. There is no work life balance. If there's a meeting at 8:00 the next morning and it's 4:00 in the afternoon, people assume you're going to work all night to get it done, however many nights in a row. It's always crisis mode - account managers run their kingdoms and treat the teams like their worker bees. Sexism runs rampant, with the tone starting from the top. Few career paths and no focus on people other than getting them "utilized."

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
