Pros

The people are the best part of the company and really take ownership for their part of the business. Most people are easy to work with and are cooperative in efforts. Work/life balance is good in most roles. The benefits are somewhat competitive in the US.

Cons

The workforce reductions have become an almost quarterly occurrence and they go deep and wide. Company employee count is no longer published because it would shock current employees to see how fast it's reducing. The current C-suite executives have accelerated the reductions and outsourcing to the point where it's basically a skeleton crew maintaining most systems and products. The corporate culture is severely lacking despite best efforts of HR to try and keep remaining employees happy. Opportunities for career advancement are no longer there. With the regular WFR's come more responsibilities for those remaining, but there are few to no opportunities for promotion. Merit raises were suspended in 2020 so salaries are no longer current with inflation.

Pros

some work life balance flexibility

Cons

new executive team brought in hired 3+ "C" executive staff, RIF'd people actually doing the work, recently did 3 MAJOR acquisitions, and are burning people out. No merit increases in 3 years.

Pros

They will hire anyone. Literally anyone who is willing to work for them. So if you need a job quick, here is your opportunity.

Cons

After reading through some of the other reviews, I must agree Mgmt is by far the worst I have ever experienced. If there is another word or description that exceeds micro managing , that should be used here. The level of disrespect to their employees, treating adults as children that need to be watched over and corrected constantly is very disturbing. As many before me have mentioned, the pay is what makes this job not even worth considering. If you get in this role, immediately start looking elsewhere. It is honestly that under average.
