Sinking faster than the Titanic - don't jump aboard!

Research associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay, decent benefits, great co-workers

Cons

No clear direction of the business, everything told to you by upper management is all smoke and mirrors with an HR tagline, and the company drastically changed goals every quarter. I was excited about the mission when joining this company, even drank the cool-aid. However, the quicker you realize much of it's a farce, with no substantial business, the faster you can move onto another company.

Pros

Great people, competitive salary, nice perks

Cons

No direction from upper management, lack of transparency (even though it is one of the company's "core values"), vendors are not paid in a timely manner, positions are created and filled then people are laid off within just a few months
