Pros

+ Upper management does a good job of mostly shielding us from higher-level Brinks distractions. + Unlimited PTO, Work Life Balance are exceptional. + WFH policy is the norm; in office is optional. + "Culture" - the people I work with are genuinely empathetic and easy to get along with. + Tech stack - cloud-native, microservices, micro-front-ends, machine learning - lots of interesting and forward-facing tech

Kontras

- Processes can be less-than-defined to the point of barely-controlled chaos - Hands-off management styles can sometimes leave people feeling directionless and/or like their ideas not getting the backing they hope for - Career opportunities can be a little limited, although that aspect has gotten more attention over time - Larger Brinks integration can sometimes intrude in very negative ways (budget, inconsistent communication, hard to get what you need, etc)

Unlimited PTO Awesome Co-workers & management

Kontras

Brinks bought them, fired a good majority of the people during restructuring even though the teams were already completely overworked.

Pros

Work life balance is good. PTO is unlimited, but not really, it is 6 weeks(which is still really good).

Kontras

The UI team consisted of about 6 people, with two of them being team leads. One team lead would manage 2 people, the other would manage the other two. That would lead to heavy micro managing. That wouldn't be so bad if the team didn't consist of people with heavy egos and are dead set in their ways. It is often their way or the highway there. Prepare for a lot of meetings with little to no contributions from the team. I've never been on a team before where I encounter so much conflict and passive aggressiveness. I eventually became so beat down and tired of everyday that I started to even reflect if I wanted to continue a career in software. The pay was decent, compared to most salaries in 2025 it is below or average. In the three years I work there I don't know if I ever saw anything I helped work on go to production. Every project was either scrapped or just forgotten about. But by far the worst con had to be the UI team as a whole being like you are in a toxic relationship. It will eventually make you toxic too,
