Pros

Flexibility from manager and some smart colleagues

Cons

Where do I start? False promises on what a role would be. Furloughs for 9 months after which they buy a company with a lot of cash and make a lot of people redundant. No care or respect for employees. You could excuse this if the operations were efficient. They are not. Within 2 weeks of starting I saw how disjointed my division was. I decided to stay for a few years and then saw I was wasting my time. I have no achievements to show for those five years. I am now in an employer where I am valued and my potential is fulfilled.

Pros

There are some good people at Alkegen who really want to make a difference. Too bad those individuals aren't in senior leadership.

Cons

Alkegen's biggest con is its senior leadership and how they create a toxic work environment of micro managing their subordinates. I've seen some very toxic behaviors from leadership that I've never seen before in my career. I understand getting the job done, but people do have lives outside of work, and leadership doesn't seem to care at all. After dedicating your entire life to Alkegen, management decides no one gets a bonus next year. Besides that, their benefits were terrible, only offering a high deducible PPO with a small contribution to an HSA. My copay and deductible went through the roof. The unlimited PO is not really unlimited, since you're never allowed to disconnect since you're not afforded a work-life balance.
