Bad management that relies on smoke and mirrors
Bad management that relies on smoke and mirrors
Flexible work schedule, but expect to work much more than 40 hours a week. If a new hire, they will treat you better for a while until the favorites are chosen and the next batch comes in.
Below average pay for an above average workload.
No pay raises for several years in a row.
Raises have been below CPI since Gerstner left.
Lower-level management is very political and petty. Upper-level management is completely clueless. They think being a "me too" company will lead to profits.
They need to take advantage of internal innovation instead of trying to follow what their paid consultants are telling them is the hottest trend in the industry.

HackerRank assessment with one coding question about profitable pairs and one SQL question to join tables and find a value. There is still no update from the team, and I'm guessing it's a ghost job.

My interviewer was a manager, and he was super friendly. We had a great conversation that felt more like a coffee chat than an interview. The questions were mostly about my past experiences and projects, with some behavioral questions included.
