Thank you for your review. Our Employee Resource Groups are an excellent way for all employees to network and develop their skills, and we are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your experience with them! We rely on employee feedback tools such as Glassdoor to identify our areas of strength, but also more importantly areas for improvement. We encourage you to connect with your HR Business Partner to address any specific concerns you have about your direct management.

Pros

Lower level management and below employees are great! Flexibility for a decent work life balance

Cons

Their promotion system is the worst I’ve encountered. The company would rather hire outside the company then promote within. I have seen many people leave because the company refuses to be competitive with compensation unless you are a new hire. I’ve seen this job used as a stepping stone into the industry to get a security clearance more times than an employee looking to stay. Their HR and compensation team are location across the country and are completely out of touch with the market.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you are enjoying our workplace flexibility! We annually participate in several high-technology, global salary surveys to understand the pay levels of the companies for which we compete for talent in the marketplace. This data is benchmarked and used as a basis for setting our salary ranges. When unanticipated upward market movement is identified specific to job functions, families or positions, market adjustments to individual base salaries are made outside the normal annual compensation cycle to respond to that movement. To learn more or if you have questions we encourage you to reach out to your local HR Business Partner.

Good team, bad management

Pros

The teams in my division are fairly independent and nice to work on ("Unlimited" 160 hours max) PTO which at 4 weeks a year is a week better than most Products are fun to design A nice sense of ownership over the work you do and the team you work with

Cons

No matter the success of your products do not expect a bonus You may change course a five times a year due to poor road mapping by upper-management Don't ever expect to start a project with an appropriate budget or timeline 3% annual raise is the max even for a 5/5 star rated employee, promotions are very few and far between
