Pluspunten

There are some good people on the scrum teams, but they are few and far between. The benefits are pretty good when it comes to Health, Dental and Vision. They also offer pet insurance which is cool

Minpunten

Where to start. There has been a major culture shift in the IT department over the last few years, and it has been driving people to leave en masse. As a salaried employee, you are expected to be at your seat from 9 to 5 and then LOG your time (exactly what you've spent the last 8 hours doing) through a JIRA plug in so that management can get on your case about how you spend your time. This doesn't include the amount of time that IT employees are also expected to spend outside of these 'office hours' on late night deployments (11 pm - who knows when), or on call hours (a whole week where you are the 24/7 tech support for n systems). Total, you're looking at closer to 60-80 hour work weeks, and, of course, you're salaried so no overtime. Pay is not competitive, and you're lucky to see your salary increase by $1K/year during the annual review and promotions are hard to come by. They have also grown increasingly difficult with scheduling, and absolutely no PTO other than a measly 8 hrs you can use on your birthday. They only offer Vacation, so good luck if you have a family emergency pop up at the beginning of the year because working remotely is HIGHLY frowned upon here, which wasn't always the case. Product teams have way to much sway and zero information about how long a new service takes to spin up. Then when they are informed, they like to blow smoke to the executive levels, and the exec's don't even question the ridiculous deadlines. Instead of holding the product teams responsible, it falls onto the dev teams. There was once a time where I could have recommended friends and family here, but this is no longer the case. The reviews on glassdoor are being carried purely by the call centers.

The leadership team sets a clear vision and communicates it with transparency and confidence. They don’t just manage—they inspire, creating an environment where people feel trusted and empowered. Innovation is encouraged at every level. New ideas are welcomed, tested, and often implemented, which makes the workplace feel dynamic and future‑focused. There’s a strong emphasis on professional growth. Leaders actively encourage employees to stretch beyond their comfort zones, offering guidance and support along the way. Collaboration is valued, and cross‑functional teams are given the space to experiment and succeed together.

Minpunten

As with any fast‑moving, innovative environment, priorities can shift quickly. It requires adaptability, but the upside is constant learning
