Pros
- Nice/new office - People are generally friendly
Cons
- Portrays a startup culture, easy going mentality. In reality, they are no different than a typical life-sucking corporate entity. - Employees are NOT judged by the quality of their work. Perception and politics rule. - Lots of nepotism, very incestuous. All the C levels came from the same company, thus, all have each other's backs no matter what. - Lots of favoritism. - Very clique-ish - Backstabbing and gossip. Expect to be thrown under the bus at some point for any reason. - Benefits are terrible. 1-week vacation? - They preach innovation but there's little to no opportunity to do so. - Culture of meetings. There are meetings to talk about other meetings, etc. - We're being told to dominate the market research industry, but in reality, C levels and upper management lack market research industry knowledge. - New workflow processes and products put in place don't really make sense from a user's perspective. - Upper management tracks your online search history, and what time you arrive and leave. - Pay is VERY substandard. - Future investor support is questionable. Only 5M capital procured last year, which was wasted on a satellite office that no one hears about, and trivial things like 3 big holographic screens. - 0 to 2.5% raise without annual review is professionally insulting. - Witnessed upper management yelling and cursing inappropriately at employees. - Bosses are just task managers, not mentors, and definitely, don't have your best interests in mind. - No opportunity to learn new skills. People who will teach have no time or aren't allowed due to adherence to processes. - No upward mobility. The only promotions are the upper management promoting themselves with loftier titles. - Just not a good place to work whatsoever. Lots of negative energy. If you're not a lifer or the boss' favorite, the snacks and good vibes from fellow employees only last so long. The job market is pretty good right now, you should definitely look elsewhere.
