Pros

Good work, good pay, good hours.

Cons

The company has a big problem with not addressing racism and bullying. There is a manager who yelled, snatched work materials out of people's hands and threw them on the floor, and used the N-word in orientation. I was told by them that there is no training material because people only make it there if that person likes them or not. I tried to move departments and complained to leadership, but the person I had to report to admitted to a long friendship with this manager (both had been with the company for over 20 years and mentioned attending their wedding ). I complained but was dismissed, and then I was moved to a physically hard team where the bully manager said: "people don't make it." That manager continued to stare at me working every day and talk about me to others. I complained about this retaliation, but the department that I was required to report to was headed by this close friend. This company also continues to use the terms Master and Slave for the truck's parts. Being a woman of color, I was very uncomfortable and quit. I was never disciplined for any issues, and I was never late or had attendance issues. I was paid out for my vacation time at the end of the first year because of my attendance and picked up overtime when needed. I also created a spreadsheet to help train other team members to help the new group I was moved to. Throughout my work history, I have been awarded in past roles for my ability to learn quickly, my ability to work well with others, and my dedication to my work. I quit because there will never be a resolution to this bullying and racism if it is not taken seriously. (I was one of 3 complaints towards this manager for bullying behavior within the two years I was there. Including telling another woman of color to put chew in their mouth for them, which I see as a kind of sexual harassment)

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

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.
