Minimal flexibility and care for employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The healthcare benefit is really good, probably one of the best in the state. There are also a lot of opportunities.

Cons

The process of moving roles within the company is a bit dumb, to be honest. Your manager gets an email every time you apply to an internal posting, and they get to chose whether or not you're ready. A bit toxic if you ask me, and discourages employees from applying to roles they're interested in. Also, the work-from-home policies they have been having is nonsense. No body on my team wants to go back into the office, and yet upper management is insisting on returning. Also, the CEO keeps saying that everyone is asking him when they can return to the office. I'm not sure who is asking that. Furthermore, the promotion process is kind of dumb as well. Managers are hesitant to fight for their employees and act in a way to please their superiors. Also, salaries are not in tune with the market at the moment.

Pros

Sometimes you get appraised for good work.

Cons

Managers in NV are: • Dictator-like • take no account of other people's wishes or opinions; domineering • believes in micromanaging employees to ensure they follow company policies and rely on authority to provide instruction. • Retaliates when you ask a simple question that pertains to your job Directors have managers back no matter what and don’t take the time to listen to their employees concerns/frustrations. Lots of turn over.

Pros

-Lots of internal training to develop expertise -Some of the people were great -Good ESPP and Health Benefits -Competitive PTO package

Cons

-Absolutely no work-life balance. Get ready to live for the job. -Management thinks each person carrying 10-15+ projects simultaneously is normal and sustainable. -No interest in hiring full time employees; most positions are 1-2yr contractors which creates knowledge gaps and time wasted on onboarding instead of fixing actual issues. -Many managers have no formal management training and it shows. -Lots of equipment is from the mid-80's and there is no interest in getting state of the art equipment. Much of the job was patching together obsolete equipment with less obsolete equipment because it's cheaper. -No loyalty to their employees. Lay-offs happened even to people who had 25-30+ years of tenure with the organization.
