The IPO doesn't mean anything to 99% of employees, since none of us got stock options, nor did they roll out a Stock Purchase Plan while I was there. Which underscores the company does not care about its employees; there are no performance, reviews, no bonuses, no cost of living increases. Several members on my team received technical certifications and even higher ed degrees but with no recognition or salary increase. It went from being an environment of innovation, to a culture of "yes-men", micromanagement and groveling (literally, I saw VP's take a groveling posture to the C-levels when they approach/speak to them).
