Software development is on relatively newer tech stacks. Pay is decent, with new office buildings and a good office location.

Some teams are faster-paced than others, e.g., aggressive timelines set by upper management for software delivery.

There is strict in-office/hybrid attendance that is tracked weekly (3 days on-site and 2 days working from home).

Parking in garages is difficult if you do not arrive early.

Traffic can be challenging in the mornings, creating long commute times. This can include having to park on the 6th or 7th floor of the garage even if you live close by.

Performance metrics are not straightforward. This is par for the course for a bank or financial institution, as they are more aligned to business/financial verbiage and goals.

The cafeteria on-site has decent food options, but it is still expensive as there is no discount for employees.

There is not much diversity on the tech side (iykyk).

Secret layoffs are done at random intervals throughout the year. Managers are instructed to tell direct reports to keep quiet and not say anything.

Allow remote work. Maybe have folks badge in once a week, on Monday or Friday, if worried about tax exemptions/deductions from the state.

Insure workers are staying in DFW and contributing to the local economy.

Straightforward performance metrics.

Subsidize food in the cafeteria for employees if you're going to make them come into the office.

Don't put individual contributors in manager positions (unfortunately, this happens too often).

Keep improving health insurance benefits and reducing the deductibles/premiums.
