Great Culture, Bell Curve Issues
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
December 5, 2024
Pros: Not only are the pay and benefits good, but the work culture is great, with an emphasis on employee wellness.
Everyone is friendly and very willing to help out any way they can.
People leaders aren't just bosses, but are expected to assist and guide their subordinates in progressing their careers.
Cons: The Chicago office in particular is not in a great spot, requiring you to live fairly deep within the city to have a reasonable commute time. Employee performance is also graded on a bell curve, meaning even if everyone within a particular group is doing exceptional, only a few of them will be officially recognized as such.
