Pros
Alight has good products, a great vision, and smart leaders. Primary perk is a remote first work environment for most roles. There are a lot of ancillary employee perks: lots of insurance options, employee resource groups, company discounts, moderate 401k matching, moderate donation matching, and there's a spotlight program if others recognize you for your efforts. The company values are good and they seem to be making an effort for DEI but I can't speak to how others feel impacted by it. I have been impressed with the family-first mentality - at least in my division - so juggling parenthood and career is not a burden.
Cons
Even when we meet the previous year's revenue goals and meet our own performance goals, the company doesn't always pay out our full bonus. Also, in the four years I've been here, only once did I receive a COLA raise. Otherwise it's been under 2% each year - despite my "stellar" performance reviews, extensive experience and going above and beyond my role, I have not received a promotion or a raise to meet my colleagues' salary levels "due to budget concerns." Also, "employees are completely in charge of their career paths," which is a good way for management to have an excuse not to advocate for your career path even when you go through the process to define and discuss your career ambitions with your manager. Granted, some managers are good managers and champion their employees, but if your manager is lazy you get nowhere.
