Pros

Work on AWS. Good Work Life Balance.

Cons

Hiring under represented minorities is just a numbers game to management. They are just trying to meet their quotas so they can get their bonuses and keep their jobs. They don't do anything to foster an environment of encouragement and teamwork. It is a toxic culture of brogrammers who are only interested in self-promotion instead of elevating and helping others on the team. They will criticize you behind your back if you make a mistake instead of trying to help and teach. Management does nothing to fix this and encourages it by always promoting those who speak the loudest.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
