      Great employees and opportunities to learn

      Pros

      I've worked on a lot of different things and learned a lot of new skills here moving from role to role and following the problems I was interested in solving. The technology is pretty amazing and it's very cool to explore and affect how it all works. I personally have sufficient flexibility with my schedule to strike a decent work/life balance.

      Cons

      The executive management doesn't seem to understand the nature of software. We work on a pretty complicated system and do amazing things with fairly advanced technology. They are pretty rough of first level managers and unrelenting on unrealistic schedules. Financial benefits are mediocre at best and the culture has continually gone downward as attrition grows and hiring slows.

      Pros

      Interesting work and opportunities to move around.

      Cons

      Compensation is below average. Culture is outdated by a good 4 decades. Childish policies. Everyone is treated as if they are disposable call center workers (engineering, management, etc.). You have to literally badge into and out of work and they track metrics such as your "average arrival time". Downright draconian and straight up idiotic. Unwritten policy where if you're late even by a minute 3 times you may get terminated. You're expected to work extra at the Riverfront location and will be pressured into doing so. They're having trouble retaining talent so expect to work with a lot of H1-Bs who have no other choice but to work there. Excessive amount of managers who serve no purpose and attempt to justify their existence by micromanaging.
