Pros

The employees are the best part of the company. Health insurance is good.

Cons

Executives keep showing how deaf they are to the concerns of the workers and give nothing but canned answers to placate the resources. PTO is terrible. No sick time. Pay is... Adequate, but you can find more elsewhere.

Thanks. Sick days were rolled into PTO at the request of our employees to provide them more flexibility in how their time is used. Six weeks of Sick Leave is provided in addition to this for more serious illnesses. We do our best towards being a Great Place To Work for All. We don’t always achieve this goal but respectfully believe everyone should have the freedom to pursue an organization that makes them truly happy and that they can trust. We wish you all the best.

Pros

Most of the employees are nice.

Cons

They don't really do nice things for the employees anymore. Workers that have been there for years make just as much as the temps do. The raises are horrible. They move up the lazy people. They hold the good workers back. They make it impossible for some of the hard workers to move up. They always pick favorites. They will tell you they will help you succeed with your goals but they don't. You can do a lead job for months and they won't give you the position. They will pick someone who knows nothing just because they like them and make you train them. Hard workers get pushed harder. Lazy workers do whatever they want and get promoted and patted on the back.

Pros

Great culture: Fun and friendly environment.

Cons

Confusing because you have multiple "bosses" (project manager, line manager, product owner, and their bosses) who give you different directions. If you work on one person's stuff, the others won't be happy. Impossible to win. Performance reviews are usually done based on tenure and how much you go out with people at night, not actual performance. If you want a place to hang out, this is the place. If you want a place that will be the next Amazon/Facebook/etc., look elsewhere. There is too much emphasis on fitting in rather than getting real work done.

Thank you. If by "fitting in" you mean that culture is extremely important then you are correct. HR's role is to help support and advise both managers and employees on employment practices and issues. It's a collaborative process rather than one telling the other what to do. Thanks again for the input.
