Pros

Maternity leave is nice. New building is nice.

Cons

The company plays games with bonuses. It's rather shocking and wrong. Family members get promoted ahead of others. Goals are quite a stretchhhhhhh.

First, thank you for the feedback that you have provided - we welcome any comments that will help us become an even better place to work. Hopefully you are aware that we have made positive strides towards improving employee engagement at the company, and we will continue to make this a priority. As you referenced, we have made significant progress with recent changes like the improved Maternity and Paternity leave policy. The new building really is state of the art and one of the nicest in the area. You may know that we recently introduced a comprehensive benefits and enhanced vacation policy for our employees that is very competitive with other employers in the DC area. The company compensation and bonus practices were also recently evaluated against the market and revised accordingly, hopefully addressing some of the concerns you raise regarding the bonus plan. In addition, there are new development programs in place to help those who are leaders within the organization. While the company is family owned, there are also strict guidelines regarding promotions and development opportunities, and we work hard to be fair and consistent. Saying all that, feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss further. Your feedback is appreciated.
