Tech Debt deeper than the Marianas Trench - Business Data Analyst Bread Financial Employee Review

Recently we went through a complex system change that upper leadership seemed blind to until the last minute. It was far too late and now I’ve been working almost 10-12 hour days all summer while seeing tons of accountholder complaints all over social media. It’s incredibly demoralizing. The end isn’t even close to being in sight with major system components having been down since June. We prepared for this for almost eight months but we still don’t have any of the talent or even people to work on it.
