Pros

Flexibility Free drinks/coffee General location Most of the people are nice to work with

Cons

I’m going to venture a guess that almost every glowing review posted on or after May 21st is in an effort to combat the fact that this organization, which built part of its reputation on never having laid people off, just laid off over 100 people on May 21st and many are very angry and confused as to how they decided who was going to be laid off. Most were people of color, of a certain age or made too much money. This company is not as transparent as they tell themselves they are and try to sell to people. While I can’t deny there are things they do ok, the past 30+ days around here have been utter chaos with zero communication. Rumors of layoffs carried faster than immediate managers letting their people know what was really going on. Right now, those that didn’t get laid off are either too afraid to speak up and possibly lose their job or they’re looking for another job. I know over 20 people in the latter category. All I can say is, buyer be where.

Pros

Private company that does not need to please the wall street every quarter

Cons

every day, the developers need to participate the scrum meeting to report to a project manager without any technical skills about what you did yesterday, what you will do today. You will estimate each small task how long it takes and add the hours into a system called TFS. update your hours for each small task/bug fix etc. it is lots of micromanagement in the IT department, lacking trust in employees, outdated technology. It is surprisingly bureaucratic when it asks developers to follow certain process, which does not add value, but only add tons of management work.
