Pros

PTO is good, decent holidays, flexible work schedule depending on manager. I've met some great people here.

Cons

They will work you like a dog. I went two years without an uninterrupted vacation or holiday. I always ended up at work, many of those days working over 12 hours without breaks. Your pay and bonuses are not going to reflect this hard work. They prioritize the voice of insecure and cowardly minority demographics who always seem to feel victimized and slighted by peers and leadership and regularly complain about it. In the six times I've witnessed this, each and every time the person was a severely underperforming employee, needing handholding even through conflict resolution as "adults." Yet, HR and leadership did nothing to support the implementation of improvement plans to force them out or straighten them up. They put talented and responsible employees under hostile scrutiny due to these employee's complaints as well. It's embarrassing to see senior and top talent forced out over perceived and warped slights by two-faced colleagues. Worse, CTO Tim Nustad has a horrible reputation for being a weak leader, expecting his direct reports to fight his battles for him with the team in India and making damaging product road map decisions for the company. When his input or influence is badly needed, he'll promise to act and then blow it off entirely...or better yet, he'll pout through entire technical review because of his constant bickering with other senior leadership. Just go Tim.

Pros

Cool project, that was it honestly. The bad outweighed the good.

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE Not an emotionally or psychologically safe work environment. Toxic, dysfunctional, retaliatory culture with institutionalized gaslighting. The company is all about optics and theater. Whatever values or capital letter 'C' care they have in their name means nothing. Leadership's promises about respectful workplaces are lies. HR's claims about protections are also lies. GEHC cannot hold anyone accountable or create a culture where employees thrive. They think multi-million dollar campus renovations will fix cultural rot while C-suite leadership remains incompetent. Management engages in hostile behavior including: berating of employees behind closed doors, manipulating performance reviews as retaliation tools, making baseless accusations in closed-door meetings, and fabricating claims to coerce compliance. Reporting these issues with hard evidence results in the victim being pushed out while Management faces zero consequences. No accountability for management. No protections for employees. Paid 50% below market. Experienced employees can't afford homes. Wages are not competitive and haven't kept pace with cost of living. Everyone is grossly underpaid. Forced hybrid creates 90+ minute commutes from Milwaukee to Waukesha with minimal on-site value and poor information sharing. Everyone was miserable and a push to 5 days on-site will make it worse. LGBTQ+ employees: avoid this place. Not inclusive. Saw too many queer colleagues struggle and leave.
