Pros

Decent salary. Snack bar and sodas filled daily. That’s it really.

Cons

In regards to Corporate, this company and it’s managers relies on fear to rule their staff and they almost always side with the end user. No real support for the technical staff. Bully culture, relies on threats and out of the blue terminations to keep staff “in check” ...Pretty disgusting lack of empathy here. Very cringy corporate culture. Creating processes for everything when in some cases not needed at all. Creating processes out of boredom then giving those processes over-corporatized naming conventions to sound smart. In one case they had two or three different names for the same process. Managers talk to you like you are a number. If you just keep your head down and do your work that isn’t enough in some cases...If you don’t engage with people and just do your job it’s not enough. Very tense atmosphere.

Pros

Flexible PTO, good healthcare and maternity/paternity leave plans, inflation raise each year with a bonus dependent on company profits. Supportive and friendly staff.

Cons

Mostly in-office work with one WFH day. Not many raise opportunities past the one each year to account for inflation.
