Pros: There are good people and teams, but that is it.

Cons: The management and organizational structure were difficult.

Pros: * Pay is excellent for the area, well above average * Flat hierarchy * Lots of PTO, well above average * Company really fosters a culture of cooperation. That's not just a slogan, it is a real thing * Very little turnover. You'll meet lots of folks who've been there 10, 15, and 20 years * Sent everybody home for the pandemic, and has kept everybody home. They are prioritizing safety over familiarity * Great place if you plan on retiring soon, or just settling down

Cons: * Don't expect to work on the latest greatest technologies * You will hear a lot of, "because this is the way we've always done it" * Expect to use a lot of tooling that nobody else is using, has a very small (if any) developer community, and is very closed source * There were major infrastructure components that I had used 20 years ago, that I thought the whole world had abandoned in the early 2000s, SIG is still using those * Very long working hours. Every employee is required to work a 48 hour week, but 60 hours is not uncommon. Your average week will likely be 50 hours, 60 if you're on a support rotation. * Company discourages lunch breaks. You will be expected to eat at your desk, or in the meeting. That's why they give you free lunch.

Pros: There were lots of problems to solve.

Cons: The problems to solve get repetitive.
