Pros

Great people to work with at team/individual levels, will do what is needed to get job done, most content to sit in corner, be quiet, and do what is told, and do not question anything to fly under the radar. CEO appears to be genuine and his mission for financial institutions. Business teams are good to work with

Cons

High turnover rate for a small company, IT issues with sr mgrs (not qualified for role) and above, hostile environment, not female friendly, lacking career growth/development plans, PMO unstable females hired last 3 years are gone, people with complaints are blacklisted and a way is found to terminate them, females are not allowed a voice overruled by controlling intimidated males in sr positions, inner circle of sr mgrs gossip, talk negatively about others, act unprofessionally and lack integrity, take others ideas as their own, people are hired/promoted into management positions with no experience or training - only in it for title and bonus, causing major dissatisfaction, turmoil, and lack of proper management for employees - inconsistent with promotions only favorites are promoted, slow to change and are not open to hearing ideas for efficiencies, outdated tools and technology, no training allowed except for favorites, questionable hiring practices, contractors hired to do projects leaving engineers to do mundane tasks, afraid of going agile, talking and open collaboration frowned on; strategic information not shared with lower level

Pros

Some great people work there,

Cons

Shazam is a total “good old boys club”. Don’t expect any new ideas to be adopted. There is no willingness to change.
