Pros

Minimum five words to be written

Cons

What not? Everything in there. Just don't join the company and lose your path. Software department is one mess, they really don't know what they develop.

Pros

Due to workload instability, there are lots of opportunities for cross-training. At the production level, there are plenty of great people who are enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Some of the managers are wildly unprofessional and even borderline sociopathic. I witnessed one middle manager giving cheery, positive feedback to the production team, only to sit down with project and resource management later and insist those same employees should be fired. To prevent workers from jumping ship, managers actively spread false information about the health of their programs and about future opportunities for job promotion. Then, when programs tank, there are sudden layoffs. This company has a habit of laying off people who are close to retirement, then immediately backfilling their jobs with cheaper labor. Only 2 days of paid sick leave per year. No rollover. Extreme levels of micromanagement. Certain teams have had to start a timer when they go on break, so that every minute is accounted for. The customers are very difficult. We'd like the freedom to develop creative, innovative content, but between the customers' overbearing demands and our own internal dysfunction, we're often left polishing turds instead. Lots of in-fighting/politicking among the bosses, some of whom actively try to sabotage each other. They force production workers to cut corners in the name of increasing productivity, and then blame those workers when customers complain about poor quality. In short, there's no accountability at the top and no recourse for the rest of us.

“We appreciate your feedback. There is no doubt that 2017 has been a more challenging year than we expected. We are working toward an employee-first organization, but reduced workload has forced us to make some difficult decisions. We are sorry you didn’t have a more positive experience with us and we will use your feedback to ensure others don’t experience the same. We are working on some exciting opportunities that we know will help energize the team and allow us to improve.”
