It was a great place to work...but less so recently
Pros
1. DEI programs are still intact. 2. If you want to work remotely from the US, they have a number of remote positions. 3. There are training opportunities available. 4. Teams are still full of high skill set people who haven't left yet. 5. SOME departments are still staffed well enough to offer work life balance.
Cons
1. Abysmal raises year over year result in wages to be much lower than the market. 2. Quality of health insurance has gone to crap and it's expensive. The Cigna PPO insurance plans won't even cover anything towards a woman's pregnancy stay in the hospital for delivering a baby resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs. 3. Company perks that have been in place for many years are getting steadily taken away from employees. 4. Leadership is becoming very disconnected from the actual employees, resulting in company policies and initiatives that have changed rapidly without consistent roll out. 5. Employees who speak up about issues are laid off. 6. DevOps and IT roles have started posting with salaries tens of thousands of dollars under market in order to drive positions overseas as they are "unfillable" in the domestic market resulting in lower skilled teams less able to do their jobs as senior employees are replaced with inexperienced ones. 7. Salaried employees are getting asked to work more unpaid overtime than in previous years. 8. Company bonus program is worse than before. The formula to calculate bonuses was changed to make it impossible to get full bonus even when the company had one of the best financial years in its history. 9. Company is starting to penalize employees with families who live overseas by restricting access to company systems for those traveling. 10. Company morale is getting worse year after year due to repeated failures by leadership to make positive changes. 11. Backfills for employees who leave remain unfilled for extended periods resulting in more work being dumped onto fewer people, causing work life balance to suffer since 2022 for most departments across the organization.
