Routine Time Off (don’t have to bank pto)

Cons

Poor training, relocation of headcount (Constantly moving talent from role to role as they evaluate headcount), thinks small even tho it’s a big company, has same products since 2015, uninspiring offices (white walls, no decor), job titles do not match what you’re asked to do, job descriptions don’t exist, uninspired employees due to terrible managers
