Stable, decent prospects. Slow at times, bureaucratic. Culture is somewhat forced
Some growth opportunities.
Values learning.
Strongly believes in providing excellent customer service.
Learns a lot of domain knowledge.
Views software engineers as IT support, whereas other companies may value software engineers differently.
Culture is somewhat forced. It lacks the chill and hip vibe.
Tech stack is a mix of old and new technologies. A Java and jQuery chop shop.
Lots of red tape, as expected from a large company.
The quality of the team depends on the manager. If you end up with a fixed mindset manager, then it’s going to be tough.
Still have a general mindset of “Don’t fix what ain’t broke” attitude.
Compensation is somewhat below the industry standard for a Fortune 500. 401K matching does not start until you have been with the company for a year. Health insurance is a bit expensive.
Learn that it’s okay to fail and fail again so that you get better iteratively.
Avoid being risk-averse. Encourage more prototyping and out-of-the-box ideas than sticking with what’s worked before.
