      Supportive atmosphere undermined by management issues and layoffs

      Pros

      - Great working atmosphere - Flat organizational structure - Good employee training

      Cons

      - Greedy management team with very poor taste/judgment. - Layoffs happen twice a year, and the selection criteria depend heavily on favoritism and nepotism rather than performance. - Extremely low transparency across the organization. - Annual bi-yearly salary reviews/raises have been frozen for nearly 4 years under the excuse of "poor economic conditions.

      No directions, numerous waves of layoffs for the past 2 years!

      Pros

      - Great peers and co-workers. Very helpful. - Great skillset gained with peers

      Cons

      - Poor pay. Senior level position isn't even 6 figures considering the ton of workload given! - Constant layoffs! 6 waves for the past 2 years and there will be more next year. The survey conducted isn't really anonymous and if you respond negatively it's highly likely you'll get included in the next wave of layoff. - No guidance from middle management. They just throw lots of tickets from different projects but they do not care if the deadline is not realistic. - Too much preferential treatment / nepotism from the middle management. Several team members do not document their work but the director/VP is okay with it because of being 'friends' with them. Don't ever try to do the same thing if you're not within their circle because they're gonna make a big deal about it. Double standards!

      Toxic is an Understatement!

      Pros

      - Sometimes, your colleagues, but watch out for all management or any senior contributors who have been there since SMS Assist.

      Cons

      - Terrible Management - Layoffs, endless layoffs - Culture of bullying, harassment, and retaliation. Don’t go to HR unless you want to be first on the layoff list. - Middle management is completely useless, and upper management only cares about their titles.
