Overall, this company has treated me well for years. Despite being paid under market, the benefits were great, and the enormous amount of PTO allowed me to live my life to the fullest, enjoying any and all trips I ever wanted to go on without question.

The company is preparing for the Capital One acquisition. Despite being reassured that nothing will change for the year 2025, they have no additional information to provide to employees.

The company is plagued with numerous engineers and managers who do not understand the systems they are in charge of. Code is written inefficiently and mismanaged, with solutions being over-engineered. Managers are unable to grasp what is happening, and you will find yourself having to repeat and re-explain yourself numerous times to get your point or understanding across.

There are orgs that aren't as bad as others, but I would avoid the banking org at all costs.
