Tech team good, company terrible!

Business Outlook

Pros

Some workers within the tech team are hard workers.

Cons

- Mismanaged - No work life balance. - No career development given - Benefits are lackluster. - Pay is average and bonuses are split across the entire company so your performance plays no part! - Projects are rushed with little coding standards - Business is innovative but tech is far behind - Buzz words everywhere, you're a replaceable product - Tech leaders inspire you to want to leave instead of wanting to push forward - All tech is managed through one person, even if you wanted to innovate one person holds you back. - After the mergers the company went from downhill to a freefall of enjoyment.

Pros

Four day work week. You work four 10 hour days and then have three days in a row off.

Cons

Almost everything. Salaries far below industry standards except for Management. Lack of respect by managers to other employees. No consequences or accountability for managers that were reported for discrimination and bullying of employees at a lower level in the company. Instead there was a constant theme of bad behavior gets rewarded. Because of this employees experiencing harassment and bullying were terrified to come forward and report it out of fear of retaliation. Management is a complete mess, and there are managers who have absolutely zero business being managers. The overall environment was toxic, and 99% of the time it was management who caused it.
