Pros
- Every department is its own company so you may end up working with great people who treat you like an adult, so you need to really feel out your team during the interview process and choose wisely if you're going to accept the offer. - Some of the best paid time off I've ever seen in IT in Pittsburgh (if you are staffed enough to use it) - Looks good on the resume if you last long enough - For the most part, the workload is fine but this could change if the layoffs keep up.
Cons
- One of the most adversarial interviews I've done, very much assumed I wasn't cut out for the role from the get-go even though I was qualified according to their posting. - 0 training, was very sink or swim and I needed to train myself through trial and error...Not a very smart way to onboard new employees when dealing with huge assets. - Layoffs are random and rampant so the environment is constantly negative - Managers are just there to ask if things are done and don't offer any feedback or help - The Pittsburgh office is terrible in terms of being able to focus, you can hear everyone's conversation and there is no privacy. - Unforgiving RTO policies that seem intentionally confusing - My team specifically has had a few people laid off who had years of knowledge that is suddenly gone making the workload almost unbearable at times. - They tell you during the interview overtime isn't enforced but with the layoffs it's almost required to keep the off shifts functional. - The current goal seems to be to run as lean as possible without considering how the people doing the actual work are keeping up. - NO LUNCH BREAKS..Everyone I tell this to doesn't believe me because of how unethical it is for a company as big as this.
