Pros: Easy to transfer internally and good benefits.
Cons: Lower salaries than most tech companies.

Great WLB, poor organization
Software Engineer II • Current Employee
Durham, North Carolina, United States
March 11, 2025
Pros: Demands were low on me personally. It felt like exceeding expectations was rather easy just by being competent. I found it easy to gain recognition and move up in the company simply by being around and competent. Work-life balance was great, and the pay was solid.
Cons: Organization and documentation were poor. Hiring is a massive mixed bag. Working across three time zones in a team led to dysfunction.
Churn led to massive creep in my role over a short period of time, to the extent that by being semi-competent, I was teaching dozens of people how to do their job after approximately two years. The office is no-frills; don't expect anything fancy.
