Pros

A lot of exciting and innovative events are currently in the works. The company has potential and has started adding development paths and has initiated employee appreciation activities.

Cons

New hires are paid under what the position and skillset would imply. They try to compensate with stock options which are not worth much right now but could be in 5 or 6 years. The company is quite top-heavy and management tends to bring in their own teams from previous jobs instead of promoting within. There is a lack of communication from the top down. Departments change who they report to and the employees find out through the rumor mill or after the fact. Staff meeting to keep us apprised of changes in staff, reporting, systems, new products are rarely held.

Pros

•They host luncheons quarterly. •The RSU given to us was pretty decent. •Allows remote work if needed. •Host cultural webinars and activities to support diversity.

Cons

•Management is HORRIBLE; they micromanage and hold their team to a standard that they don’t even meet. •The benefits sucked. It’s clear they chose the cheapest coverage to save them money. •They do group firings instead of independently meeting with people to fire them. I was fired via a group call which was embarrassing. •They barely give raises. I worked on a team of 5 and was doing the job of 3 people for almost a year. They didn’t give me a raise till I kept bugging. •We were told that automation would be done in phases and that our jobs were secure till then. We were fired on the spot and these processes weren’t even approved yet. •There’s no work life balance. You’re expected to work when need despite having a family. •PTO sucks. They took away sick leave so now PTO has to be used instead. •They changed the dynamic of the company to benefit the “higher ups”. They don’t care about the employees who make less than 6 figures. •Management & HR lies. They’ll promise you one thing and do another.
