Pros

Engaging, friendly, inclusive, and respectful culture from the top down. They walk the walk. Best company culture I've encountered.

The people here really care about each other, the customers, and the quality of the technical work they do.

Cons

Recently acquired by Capital One. No one knows how this will end. There's a lot of uncertainty at the moment.

Advice to Management

Start mapping people into teams at COF. Telling them to apply for positions at COF (but nothing above where they are at the moment) and good luck is making people feel abandoned and adrift. You owe more than that to these people.
