Pros

Salary paycheck and office is close to my residence now that we must return post pandemic.

Cons

Worse than the new typical collaborative “open office environment” concept seen in similar corporate facilities. The Plano campus consist of the new theme to squeeze as many people as possible into a fishbowl. This is even more pronounced in the IT Developer areas. The company offers medical coverage but there is a tier system in place so the more successful you have been with your career expect to be penalized with higher cost of coverage (socialism mentality). I joined as a software engineer and began during the pandemic time working remote. No laptop or any type of WFH stipend offered. Expected to use your home personal equipment to work via VPN. Return to office and must work from a shared computer where you log into a desktop with personal credentials to identify yourself as the user. This is so they can move you around at moment’s notice and save the fee on laptops. Kind of cheap for a billion-dollar company! Company invested a lot of money into these new facilities pre-pandemic so now is forced to reject the work-from-home or even hybrid concept to justify real estate investment and receive local and state tax incentives. Nothing to do with collaboration. That is an excuse. Call it for what it is! If your political views don't lean to the far left this might not be the right fit from a culture perspective.

Pros

Excellent place to work. I learned a lot while I was there. The CCB Corrections Team is a strong team and everyone works together.

Cons

There are always layoffs constantly going on. The job was very stressful at times.

Pros

They treat people well overall. It's all about connecting to others to get anything done, so if you're great with networking and maintaining connections it's a good place to work. Honestly the kindest layoff I've ever experienced, including genuine internal support to find another job. Still doing meaningful DOI work, including some of the best friendly benefits out there.

Cons

If you don't have a highly specialized cyber security skill set or work at a main campus in Texas, Ohio, Delaware, New York or New Jersey don't expect to ever move up the ladder. Staying focused on goals OR successfully communicating strategy pivots seems to be beyond most MDs in Global Technology. They seem to be having a re-org problem at the moment. I had 5 managers in the last 365 days I was there, hardly time to get any work done and then challenged at the end to show impact or delivery, all you can do is shrug and say 'tell me how, when you moved me every 2 months?"
