Pros

Not sure if my experience was the same as others because I was hired by a manager who I already knew and she was brought over from another major corporation, but I was paid well and left to do my job remotely without a manager wanting my butt in a seat to prove I can work.

Cons

They try to sell themselves as different than IBM or other older more established corporations but the reality is they took a bunch of IBM old guard and moved them over so a lot of the backdoor dealings are the same. I found upper management to be less than forthright which is expected but not only that they downright lied to hundreds of us for months before we were finally given a measly 2 weeks notice. They prefer offshore Costa Rica or India workers because they are cheaper even if it means a lower quality of work or that others have to do rework.

Pros

You'll be neglected to the degree it'll create a very tempting but false and life wrecking comfort zone

Cons

- VERY TOXIC - Everyone you're surrounded with is most probably demotivated. - The 2 most common manager types is Unqualified Idiots or Devils hired to serenade you into being taken the most advantage of. - Your passion and ambition will start dying gradually as soon as you join. - You're guaranteed to meet some of the biggest scumbags you'll ever meet in your life

Toxic managers and CYA culture

Pros

It's remote and you get health insurance.

Cons

Do not work here if you are UX. No resources or budget or processes. No access to users. Bringing up limitations gets you blamed for making excuses. Managers and PMs do the bare minimum and are rarely available. When they are, you get told to try harder or nothing can be done so suck it up. Very hostile and toxic communication styles. Super high turnover. The longest employees are either the managers who do no work and have the little guys to blame, or little guys who are in a binding contract rather than FTE. No one feels safe bringing up issues because they know they'll be met with a hostile or accusatory response. Management is literally delusional and claims there are no issues and believe the high turnover is due to anything but them. We work with a lot of teams in India and closed-door conversations are dehumanizing and exploitative of real employees. Please avoid at all cost for your mental health or have a exit strategy in place.
