Pros

Old fashioned pension with quick vest (3 years). Matching 401K. 3 weeks vacation to start.

Cons

Micromanagement, ridiculous work load. More narcissists and sociopaths than I've encountered anywhere. Dated technology and methodology. Little to no training. Promotions or even raises next to impossible. Intelligence, experience, expertise or dedication mean nothing, it's all about how long you've worked there. While the vacation is generous, just try using it! Don't waste your time working at this company, life is too short!

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
