Pros

There are a ton of college hires, and it's enjoyable to be able to work with same-age peers. The benefits are very good.

Cons

After waiting over a month for my start date, they assigned me to a new and far less prestigious/desirable team a few days before.

After several weeks, I have been assigned literally nothing to do. They do not hire many developers with Computer Science degrees; instead, they hire students with Business degrees. I assume this is because talented developers don't get treated well here. Moving up is 100% about networking and 0% about ability/talent.

Advice to Management

You're going to lose all of your talented developers if you don't give them challenging work and reward them for good performance.
