Pros

They value work/life balance a lot. Expect to work no more than 40 hours a week unless you have a really unfortunate manager or you yourself really want to. Also expect to be able to fully take advantage of all of their awesome benefits. If you want to take a class, or have a baby, they will pay for it without a second thought. If you have COVID, don’t feel embarrassed about taking that unlimited sick leave to get better. Also, the pay is pretty good for the DC area with decent opportunities for growth (especially if you get hired in Card).

Cons

They say they are doing remote in various positions, but I’ve heard horror stories from more than a few people. Getting hired remote, but it’s not written in their contract, so they get mandated to visit the office anyways. Or people who have guarantees from managers but HR doesn’t agree years later. Also, they are trying to say they aren’t doing layoffs, when in reality they are doing everything but to copy Silicon Valley for the shareholders. There have been mass layoffs of anyone who got below a certain threshold of reviews as “fired for the employees poor performance”. I think the remote debacles are on a similar note as well.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great, so are the severance packages, which is great when you get managed out for 'performance' so they can hit their 10% forced attrition goal (back door layoffs)

Cons

Their move to being a 'Tech Company' may be great for all the folks they poach from Google and Meta, but they seemed to have forgotten that they need people to run their operations...well, at least until they can automate practically everything. Then their journey to the dark side will be complete. Also, hunger games style performance reviews. Did everything asked of you? To bad, your manager wasn't any good at arguing for your rating or you weren't some sr leader's pet, you're gonna be fodder for their 'Below Strong' bucket...

Pros

Company is good to technology and software engineering employees and good for benefits. Company values are good, just not in TA.

Cons

Tech TA isn't treated well at all. Many broken systems and bad management. Everything revolves around an old school brown nose, popularity contest type of culture. A lot of create your own value by making up pointless meetings and "omg that's amazing" type of responses to managements every word. Metrics are "rank and yank" bell-curve style not based on actual numbers. Scheduling is bad, and you will become a sourcer not a true inhouse recruiter here.
