Anti-Racist = Racist Policies

Anonymous employee

Pros

Trying to promote equality is good.

Cons

The problem is when you promote based on demographics instead of qualification that is denying equality. Promoting people because they are persons of color or LGBTQ+ even though they are less qualified that their white counterparts is RACIST. You cannot and will not defeat racism with racism.

Pros

Nice amenities, benefits are good

Cons

C-suite only level over 50 everyone one else in management is young and inexperienced. Seasoned workers they bring in are driven out quickly. Beware to anyone over 40 thinking about joining this place.

Pros

Good pay for Engineer I and II Good benefits with cheap health care Free food (sometimes) ALOT of AWS experience gained

Cons

-Having a noisy open workspace, working less hours and having stickers on laptops doesn't make you a tech company. The job was advertised as a software engineer but ended up doing boring DevOps work, and when I needed to code I had to deal with undocumented spaghetti code(I was surprised to see this quality of code in a company like CapOne). There is no enforcement from tech leads to write clean code or provide documentation. I was surprised because the coding challenge in the interview process was written very professionally and included end to end testing. -You'll need to go through many procedures in order to make any change in production code. -You'll spend most of your time on endless time meetings. -The tasks you need to work on are not clear and you will waste your life looking for answers on what needs to be done. -Co-workers are not helpful and lazy - will take time to respond to you so you stop asking questions and won't respond at all after 3:30pm (because this is when some people stop working here). -Tech lead is incompetent and careless. If asked, wouldn't even know how to run the app which is the core functionality that the team manages. Man I miss coding.
