Pros

Good benefits Good place to be able to put experience on your resume, but build your parachute and hop out after a couple of years to a company that actually has competitive pay

Cons

Don't plan on getting anywhere unless you buddy up with the right people. Having an excellent work ethic, being great at what you do, being versatile, being a quick learner, being great with internal and external customers, having a great rapport with coworkers--none of it counts for much if the right managers don't take a personal interest in you (because you sucked up appropriately). They are very fickle too, so good luck. And that career pathing they're always talking about? I'm not sure it exists.

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
