Pros

Strong five-year vesting program. 401(k) contribution match is excellent. Beautiful office spaces and competitive perks compared to the industry. The ability to collaborate with other team members in Asia and Europe.

Cons

Leaders are promoted for technical skills, not people management, leading to poor leadership and aimless direction. Job security is declining and low morale due to outsourcing work to Infosys India. No one seems to actually like their jobs. The team lacks cohesion, with little interest in collaboration. Most meetings tend to be painfully awkward and counterproductive, as no one ever speaks up to give input. If you are of a different background/region than your team, expect an uphill battle to feel included. Managers are strained from too many tasks and have no time to lead the team effectively. Favoritism is rampant—friends of managers can leave early, skip meetings, and contribute minimally, while others endure five pointless meetings a week and stay overtime and weekends without pay.

Pros

The bonuses and CSRP of 15% as well as many benefits are unmatched. I enjoy many of my colleagues and have made life long friends.

Cons

It was a great place to work and many will continue to feel that way until they are affected like those of us in the Norfolk Virginia office. There is no loyalty from the company and people are replaced either by a “vision“ of technology that doesn’t yet even exist within the organization or by cheap labor “offshore“. I thought I would retire from here and now I find myself out of a job after over 20 years before the end of 2027.
