Pros

There is a lot of talent at the company, and they put a lot of resources into talent acquisition.

There are large pushes from leadership for software practices to be normalized and homogenous.

The Target-made deployment platform has grown into a convenient and powerful tool.

There are lots of opportunities for horizontal movement within the company.

Cons

Leadership restructures every year and changes goals frequently. Pay is average/below average for the industry. Benefits aren't great. Healthcare plans change without input, which made me lose access to my FSA funds. The 401k match and year-end incentive bonuses are at the bare minimum for the industry.

Advice to Management

Set long-term goals and then have leadership support them. There is no accountability for leadership in that respect.
