I recently quit, what a weird fucking place. Cheap as hell company, just one of the most miserly companies I've ever worked for. I've worked for some cheap ass companies, but none that reliably make 4b per year. It's not just with pay, it's workspace and technology too.

The Pittsburgh offices are kind of a dump, at least I thought so. Their tech floor was nice but everything else seemed very 90s-esque. Dark, dusty, fake plants everywhere, stacks of boxes, and dilapidated bathrooms. Then you hop on video chat with someone in New York and it's shiny and modern. Even India had a better space.

Technology is a complete joke - shitty data strategy, outsourced IT, and absolutely abysmal intranet and a patchwork of hr systems.

The layoffs are the real kicker. You never feel safe. Working for a cheap company can work for people if you felt safe, like you could just work there for a long time doing 9-5 and not get axed as long as you did your job. They lay people off and prance around on CNBC like it's Goldman but they spend like what I would imagine from a mom and pop tax prep company in Monroeville.

I would advise not working there.
