      Pros

      Great culture in certain teams. Flexible work schedule, free food, and get to work in Europe

      Cons

      Not very strong managers. Financial development use to have 60 developers. Today, there is 400 developers - just in one area! They over hired and brought in average developers - not very strong ... they just hired to meet the target number. The top manager is from Oracle and Microsoft. He can care less about his employees. All his managers are too scared to say anything. There is a turf war between Product Management and Development. The product's performance sucks. Large companies are not buying Financials. Development process is over engineered (taking Agile to the extreme!). Salaries are low, career growth for developers do not exist.

      Pros

      Peers/ co-workers, flexibility, genuine nice co-workers

      Cons

      Lack of integrity and honesty. Sr, Director visited SLC two months ago and held 1:1 meetings to find out what she can do better and tell her something she did know. It was all smoke and mirrors and a waste of travel budget as they laid us all off. Workday get your crap together. You let go of some amazing, knowledgeable individuals that could’ve been moved to other orgs/locations but instead you decided to hand them their walking papers.
