Pros

Great community culture. Pride themselves on helping each other and the community. Loads of FTO - paid time off.

Cons

Management began to make moves to remove my employment. Performance was hyper focused on negative despite achievements. I sought assistance from HR and upper management, they in turn told my manager to develop a PIP. PIP set a list of tasks to be graded on at the end of review. All seemed well on the graded tasks when manager began to rattle off other concerns outside the PIP. Terminated based on performance. Contended and showed emails of timelines and deliverables, doesn't help. Discovered three weeks later that my position is being posted in Costa Rica with a higher skill set ( likely could not hire someone in the US for what they were paying me with that level of skill )

Pros

Very nice brand. Good company who pays decent salary. lot of good people to mix up, work and play.

Cons

Change your HR leadership please. They keep asking what is the problem to the people who stayed and dont ask to people who left. I was casually checking the survey today. Surprised to see people talking about recent technology changes in Gladdoor. Lot of people like me are happy about what happened. We were called to a meeting by our HR and HR leadership was asking again and again questions. It seemed like they want us to say bad about old folks. I dont know what is the problem for them. Old leaders coming back is good afterall, even Tata returned. HR keeps on asking about our concerns and why dont they see their own team. They change far more than other. Speak to people who left and they will tell you.
