No work life balance. Upper management is out of touch

Pros

- Good diversity and inclusion - Good pay - Work with candy - Some good people

Cons

- long hours - shifting direction. We start going one direction without fully thinking through it which leads to rework later - high burnout - in our town hall, the response to this is “did you download the calm app yet?” or “take a class on our learning platform for how to better deal with stress.” Get ready to be told “we’re working on it” a lot without really seeing results or changes. - overworked - our department is short staffed and our director doesn’t care and gives us more work anyway. - not transparent with COVID - we still have to wear masks in the office but there have been people testing positive. We have no contact tracing and people in other departments aren’t notified of pockets of outbreaks. Positive cases/outbreaks are also not addressed openly in our town halls. - no summer hours

Pros

Great in-office perks, good people, strong opportunities for growth

Cons

Very hectic/chaotic day-to-day environment. Sheer amount of work to be done is extremely overwhelming, teams are not properly staffed, and prioritization of projects is lacking. Everyone seems stretched very thin and burnt out.

Pros

Pay and benefits (vision, health, paid holiday)

Cons

No internal support to accomplish company, department, or individual goals. High turnover. Constant software issues and changes. No adequate training. No opportunity for advancement. Micromanagement. Unhealthy work environment. Heartbreaking to watch contract to hires ‘fail’ due to inadequate training that are working hard to get hired over and over and over companywide. Pressure to work unpaid overtime to meet individual goals and the amount of work to get a raise just isn’t worth it. Understaffed severely in all areas. No accountability lends to a toxic work environment.
