Pros

Overall, this company has treated me well for years, despite being paid under market, the benefits were great and the enormous amount of PTO allowed me to live my life to the fullest, enjoying any and all trips I ever wanted to go on without question When I became ill, I was able to take short-term disability without any questions, and was able to return to work like normal.

Cons

The company is preparing for the Capital 1 acquisition, and despite being re-assured that nothing will change for the year 2025, they have no additional information to provide to employees. The company is plagued with numerous engineers/managers that do not understand the systems that they are in charge of. Code is written inefficiently and mismanaged, with solutions being over-engineered to provide only, managers are unable to grasp what is happening, you will find yourself having to repeat and re-explain yourself numerous times to be able to get your point/understanding across. There are orgs that aren't as bad as others, but I would avoid the banking org at all costs.
