Laid off 140 employees to outsource 300 from India and Poland
Pros
It was close to where I lived.
Cons
At 10 AM on a Tuesday 140 employees were pulled into a meeting where a pre-recorded message played that told us we were all being let go. The remaining employees were told that they were going to hire 300 people in Poland and India. I was a high performer, my team lead had nothing but good things to say about my performance. They weren't even consulted. Neither was their boss. Completely blindsided everyone who wasn't C-level. The software is antiquated. The pay is far below industry averages. The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing. Never had any transparency as to what I would be working on further than a few weeks in advance. Benefits and perks constantly being stripped away with nothing to replace them. No cost of living raises. Performance raises are laughable. But they have a slide in lobby, so woo. Promotions are held over your head forever. Advancement is non-existant.
