Pros

- Pay is nice if you are being hired out of college - HSA is pretty nice - Stock Purchase Program. Stock is bought at the end of the month and can be sold once they hit your account. - Work life balance can be great depending on team

Cons

- If you are experienced hire you will be paid less than an entry level college hire - Company will make you lazy. Coding is secondary here. AWS and buggy enterprise tools is all you will deal with. - Performance Management Process is absolutely horrendous. Stack ranking makes performance management a popularity contest. You need to know how to play office politics. - No COL raises. Only merit raises. They will only give non merit based raises to TDPs (entry level college hires) - Work life balance can be horrible depending on team. - Getting promotions is heavily dependent on the organization you get hired to.

Pros

+ Nice campus and office environment (prior to offices closed due to COVID) + Relatively good pay + CEO with good vision and willingness to invest in technical innovation + Senior leadership in Enterprise Digital group are very thoughtful and caring (but overshadowed by the incompetent middle management sycophants)

Cons

- Performance and promotions are based on who likes you -- not whether you delivered significant business value - Managers promoted to their own level of *incompetence* - Everyone out for themselves - Managers take credit for what their team delivers - You only get a good review if someone else gets a bad one (bell curve) - Managers are limited to how many top performance or promotions they can put forward; so, others get left behind (even if they're doing a good job) - Incompetent managers are never fired -- only their victims that work for them - Improper conduct (harassment) by management only results in a slap on the wrist - Managers don't care if you succeed or fail; employee failure is never seen as a potential reflection on poor management / leadership

Pros

- The benefits are unparalleled - Colleagues are generally very helpful and supportive

Cons

- Promotions are not merit based. They're determined by how much 🍑 you can 💋 - Management couldn't care less about supporting their staff. They're all about destructive feedback, not constructive - Senior leadership have no business leading a company. They have no leadership skills, are completely out of touch, hardly communicate anything of value and definitely don't practice what they preach. - The Canadian business just fired over 1400 people (2 entire sites)…would a company that is well managed do that?
