Great company

Pros

This company really values their employees. It's hard not to love this company.

Cons

It's a big corporation, and so carries everything that goes with it - bureaucracy and politics. Software is not it's main product, so it's mostly maintaining deployments 3rd party services.

Pros

Water bill coverage for managers, 100% medical insurance cover.

Cons

Extremely lean teams therefore unbearable workloads. Poor leadership who dont read emails and never want to address the root cause. Promotion usually depends on being liked by bosses & not necessarily your contribution.
