Pros

Pay was decent but got robbed on bonuses

Cons

Management is horribly unorganized. Training is awful. Their systems are constantly changing so there is no good way to become efficient and then you get thrown under the bus when you aren't. There are about 5 different system's they work with that all do different things and they don't talk to each other. Nothing is streamlined. Makes a CA's job 10x more challenging, needlessly. And the CA is always wrong even if they are working with an FA that is known problem....maybe they need to be reflective on who the common denominator is instead of taking the easy way out and blaming the CA..

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
