Pros

- Work (New tech and Cloud Integrations) - Some benefits are better compared to same range companies

Cons

- Not all the teams to good to work. Depends on org and manager, middle and upper management trying to deliver lot of things at once, not scoping/handling the timelines correctly, juggling between projects, manager pressures the SDEs and has to work over time even on the weekends (work-life balance completely got lost from last 1-2 years) - New initiations gets started as POC and then suddenly, your manager comes and says - we have to deliver this feature in next few weeks (They think that POCs are actual project initiations which causes lot of confusion in terms of scoping) - Has separate QA, Dev, Deploy teams.. This is good actually because you can focus on dev work. But, the co-ordination between teams is correctly balanced and devs has to follow up with QA which might not go properly, so you have keep bugging a lot of people to get the work done and finish your work (otherwise effects your year-end review) -- (For this you have to build contacts and have very good people skills, otherwise your work keeps on go into pending)

Pros

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Cons

Lack of team cohesion among departments. Lots of communication and accountability breakdowns, siloed efforts. Immature processes and undeveloped operations. Unqualified and ineffective leadership: I was to be the Business Process Lead but mid-interview, the hiring manager told me they would instead place me in a very small sub-department reporting into Finance Business Transformation. It was never clear if this was meant to be temporary or permanent... I was successful in facilitating and contributing to a project that was 10+ years overdue at Docusign. The managing director I reported to was laid off so a more tenured employee took over as "manager" who had never been in charge of people and it showed. Despite my contributions, I was told how little they valued my work and efforts on a successful project. Definitely a level disparity as I have been Sr. Finance Manager twice and head of a global department reporting into VP level and up. It appeared that all this new "manager" wanted was a subservient cog to condescend, demotivate, and talk down to. Beyond ridiculous to squander my 15 years of corporate experience.
