Pros

Work from home and goo IT budgets.

Cons

IT is full of politics. Every thing is getting outsourced to India ( actually this company is 10 years behind, in terms of outsourcing. The other companies are coming back to USA, we just have began outsourcing) People from US are asked to report to a manager from India. Manager in India has 50 plus direct reports and several indirect reports.There are no standard rules, each VP has his own policies based on his/her own convenience. Too much money is wasted on custom development. We do the same stuff several times but still does not work.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
