Pros

None. Really. There is so much that is wrong with this company.

Cons

I came here to warn others about a company whose culture is non-transparent, inflexible, and tremendously archaic. I also came here to warn others of an organization that is extremely siloed, unsupportive, lack of collaboration and rigid. I came here to warn others about the lack of innovation and old school technology. I came here to warn others about the 1950s PTO benefits only allowing two weeks. But nothing would have prepared myself or others to what we found in our email box two weeks ago. The company sent out an email to all employees eliminating remote work for ALL employees. The company committed to me being fully remote in my offer letter just one year ago. It committed to my employees being fully remote because they live hours away from the office. Out of nowhere, that has been eliminated. I really truly hope this awful organization sees a mass exodus of employees. They deserve every bit of the turnover. Of course, this is probably what they want. They pride themselves on not laying off employees. So there is no coincidence that this comes at the same time as the company also eliminating all travel, training and development. Good riddance.

Pros

There are a few great managers here, but they are few and far between. Good amount of sick pay.

Cons

Underpaid for the role. Just another cog in the machine to get tasks done. If you don’t have seniority, but are being mistreated by individuals who are more senior, be ready to shoulder the blame for errors even if you are new. The lack of training is astounding, especially for some departments that are expanding. Lots of koolaid drinking. If you care about being kind and authentic, be careful which team you land with. Take your time during the interview process.
