Pros

- Healthcare - 401k match - Bonus is meh now compared to 90% of the industry - Culture that used to be a selling point is almost non existence

Cons

I’ve been with the company for 10years now, started seeing comany going downhill for last few years. We are loosing the culture that USAA was proud of. Getting managers who has no idea how to manage a team or people but somehow got promoted to manager & working under them is a nightmare! We need to manage ourselves, work extra long hours & still get the blames if something isn’t right that’s not in our hand! Since last summer releasing code is a pain, you need 3 separate person for 1 release, so long nights 1 to 2 days a week for engineers or DPOs

Pros

- Many opportunities for learning (company paid) - Many different tech stacks

Cons

- Tons of legacy code that's difficult to understand and support - Company (especially PnC) has a difficult time choosing what to do and what not to do - Lots of useless ceremonies that eat time and solve nothing - Many low quality developers who rely on protocol and ceremony to prove their value instead of actual development
