Pros
Lots of young people. Occasional fun events. Free beer and snacks on Fridays. Relaxed work environment. Laid back dress code.
Cons
Reviews have always been late. If you quit, transfer departments, or even get a promotion, you simply don't get your review/ raise. Management gives more work without more pay, saying things like, "that's a responsibility, not a promotion." Sometimes people even become a team lead without a change in title or pay. Management in St. Louis openly shares information about employee salaries in conversation. This was reported to HR, but the behavior persists. Our new CEO announced that reviews are all being cancelled until September. There will be no back-pay for those who had reviews due early in the year. She sent an email to management that this is a cost saving effort. She told the rest of the company it was to make sure the reviews are done perfectly. She offered a free copy of her own book to all the female employees. She did this by creating a separate email list for men and women. This became awkward when men found out from their female friends. Even as she cuts budget at the expense of her employees, she keeps insisting that she's making Ansira one of the "greatest places to work."
