Reaching the Next Level

Pros

Flexible work locations. Great industry to capture new skills and customer solutions. Broad backgrounds of employees to work alongside of. Pay is consistent within the industry. Managers care.

Cons

Rapid growth and acquisitions make change around every corner. Transitioning to better processes cause longer work engagements and efforts. Some employees feel "entitled", toxic. Finger pointing between people versus solving conditions and being a team. This brings others down to their level. Pitch in or get out.

Pros

Free snacks and the occasional BBQ or left overs from meetings Some of the front line folks are great people willing to help There are some truly talented people there and some even care Slightly above average PTO accrual Middle management can have your back, assuming senior management doesn't bypass them. Plenty of free parking at the Denver office

Cons

Senior management that is completely out of touch Pay is very inconstant for the same job, some are paid fairly (on the low side) others are getting way below market Unqualified or toxic people are allowed free reign to make their own hours, watch Netflix all day, or just be downright insubordinate Communication between management levels is almost nonexistent Performance metric are completely arbitrary, and the same across all job descriptions (eg a tier 1 help desk person and a tier 4 server person are judged the same) Policies are not enforced the same between regions or teams At the last all hands they said that the company has more allotted project hours than resources, and that is if everyone from HR to sales to executives were all put to work (think about that) There has been high turnover in HR, what did they know I wonder? The current round of layoffs witch affected about 7% of the companies head count was done in a vacuum at the executive level (probably at the sole decision) of the new COO (who hasn't done a single useful thing this year). This was done without any input from mangers or team leads. Not only did the mangers not have any input, they weren't even told before they started! Letting 30 people go without even talking to the front line managers, just think about, think about the message it sends.
