Pros
A good place to get experience
Cons
The CEO only cares about shareholders and his own bottom line. If you spend more than a month at this company it’s apparent. He brags about a future where AI can replace all of his employees. He just single handedly pushed through a return to office policy giving employees less than 2 weeks notice until the policy takes effect. If you want to return to office, fine, but you can at least give employees more than 14 days notice. Not to mention the WFH policy was a selling point for many people during interviews. The CEO literally manually approves every single hire. The environment is beyond controlling. The whole business model seems to be finding ways to get tenured employees to quit and replace them with new hires making 40k a year. They recently fired hundreds of employees citing violation of the WFH policy. In most cases, the managers allowed employees to WFH extra days when needed, but these employees were fired with absolutely no warning or PIPs. Also - some of the data that was used to justify the layoffs (badge swipes) was inaccurate. If you want to have a child, good luck. No maternity/ paternity leave AND you will lose eligibility for bonus and merit if you take short term disability to take care of your newborn. Here’s a little cherry on top. This place feels justified in laying off employees with questionable attendance data, gives employees less than 2 weeks notice of RTO policy, but requires a 30 day resignation notice ? If you do resign, and they think you violated the non compete agreement, they will track you down, and send you and your new employer a letter demanding your resignation. If you work here, you are nothing but a number. Whatever HR person reads this and responds, you know that this is all true. If it’s not, then prove me wrong with facts and data. Sooner or later the CEO will drive this company to the ground, all the good employees will leave, and I will sit back and drink my tea as I watch the stock price plummet.
