Too much instability from backstabbing leaders

Pros

Average benefits/compensation - not really competitive with what's out there, great cause, super cool views and some decent, smart people (who may be wasting their time here because the change that is happening is going to take a loonnng time)

Cons

While I appreciate the efforts made within the past few months, some of the bad seeds are still here and that makes getting work done a challenge. There has definitely been a new wave of great vision and transparency + an open door policy to address any of the corruption or issues we face (this gave me, and a lot of us hope), however, the challenge is if we speak up to share our concerns, it makes things awkward when we go back to our teams--so can we really speak up? Some of our leaders are very emotionally driven and EVERYONE talks in this office, so some of us want to speak up, but we are afraid to. We've seen what happens to people that do.

First I want to thank you for pointing out the fact that you see positive changes happening recently. I also agree that all of the positive changes can and will take some time to implement, but at least we are starting to improve. I would like to find out more information about what happens to people who speak up. If there are negative repercussions to speaking up, I absolutely want to address this and do whatever is needed to make it a safe environment for giving feedback. I apologize that your experience is still not satisfactory; I take it extremely personally.

Worst company ever

Pros

It has a nice view that you won't be able to enjoy. Managers will make sure of that.

Cons

Benefits : As full time employee, you have to wait more than three months to be eligible for benefits , even when the job offer states that you will be eligible for full benefits after 30 days which still sucks but what can you expect from a company like this.

Beware

Pros

Lots of free food and sympathy from your other employees.

Cons

Everything else that you can possibly think of. The managers treat everyone as two faced as possible. Say they think you're great but in management meetings they rip EVERYONE to pieces. Why aren't you leaving early before a holiday? Because no one is allowed to leave before the managers.
