Svantaggi

Note: this is a very Engineering-specific job review. It won't apply to other areas. -You can't get anything done. -None of the work you have to do can be done by knuckling down and getting on with it. Nearly every task you have depends in some way on another team and on factors outside of your control. However, if you don't make it work, you will be punished for it in your performance review. -Most of the day-to-day work will involve working with processes, rather than code. If you like processes more than code, then this is the place for you. -And if you raise these concerns via their All associate survey, *you* will be tasked with fixing them and punished for not doing so. Toxic positivity is a phrase that comes to mind, because you also can't voice any negativity. -The hybrid working policy is a mess and is enforced by monitoring your card swipe data in office. It's a moving goalpost that changed from 2 days per week to 3 days.

Vantaggi

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Svantaggi

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
