Pros

Solid company that will weather the recession. Low turnover provides depth of experience to draw from. Interesting opportunities to work with colleagues world-wide. Resonable benefits. Strong ethic for quality work and products. Good quality people to work with on the division level.

Cons

The corporate culture is very old school - hierarchical and control-oriented. Too much micromanaging by senior managers lead to delays, much wasted effort and poor outcomes. Slow advancement with limited opportunites to move up to higher level jobs. Favoritism by directors in providing opportuities for advancement to relatively few persons.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
