Business Outlook

Pros

- Vast majority of the people I've interacted with are incredibly dedicated to their job. - The tech stack is fantastic, albeit a bit dated in some respects. This is being addressed and assessed at least quarterly. - Flexible time off policy (manager/team dependent on how much time you'll actually get to take off)

Cons

- Some inconsistent policies. - Pretty siloed off teams, you get a lot of pushback from NetOps for even including them on an email. You learn which individuals to approach for prompt assistance. - In the vein of siloed off teams, you end up with different teams working on the same functionality and wasted work cycles. - Very inflexible on time in the office. 3 days mandatory, and they track the hours based on badge time in office.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is commiserate with market for some niche positions.

Cons

Leadership seems lost and it shows. People are finding the exit doors and the lack of fundamental understanding to emotional intelligence is completely absent.
