Pluspunten

- low cognitive load, don't have to think much at all - lot of time to do self-learning and explore new technologies - don't have to meaningfully contribute

Minpunten

Where do I start, I worked there for 4 years left briefly, and returned just to get PIP'd after 6 months on the team. The reasons given of course were things like "doesn't understand the stack" despite having worked on several teams and high performing over the years. The middle management ranges from great to absolutely vile. Overall I'd say the cons are: - abuse of buzzwords, onboarding to new technology with no vision in mind - work is mindless. Lots of show and tell with little to no actual feature building - constantly bogged down by crappy CI/CD - entirety of work is switching yaml values around, over 4 years I wrote less code for capital one than i wrote in 1 month at my new job - absurd expectations for visibility. How can you even be visible when 99% of the work is maintenance work? And finally, the pay is garbage. I have seen the company through the years and it used to be an awesome place to work. Initially when I joined the employees were treated extremely well, and there was an actual family culture. Over time it has withered away and c1 is a shell of what it used to be

Pluspunten

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Minpunten

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
