Software Development Engineer • Former Employee

Fargo, North Dakota, United States

Pros: Great benefits and pay. The people I worked with were smart and had a great work ethic. I also enjoyed a good work-life balance that was respected by my team.

Cons: The promotion cycle was a bit slow. They still review their employees with a bell curve, which leads to only a select few getting promotions and big bonuses. Even though many people deserved them, the stack ranking only lets a certain number of people get promotions each year. I saw many of my colleagues leave before their signing bonus was up because of this.
