Pros

Above average salary and benefits (401k, health, profit sharing). Good to get your career started bad for everything else.

Cons

Outsourcing, contractors, heavy vendor and adquisition driven company. Talent retention and development not at its core. Their priorities are stockholders, customers, and then employees in an ever more competitive environment for talent to drive business revenue.

Principal software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, compensation, training, and potential to move up. IT has extremely low turn over. Very common to have over 15 and 20 years with the company. Great work/life balance. Couldn't ask for a better job. Products and service are top notch. External customers are the priority and keeping customers is number one.

Cons

Management's idea of "agile" is skewed and needs to be revamped. New hires are bobble heads who say yes to everything. Not a lot of people left who will say no and not enough constructive dissent.
