Pros

Healthy Snacks, Compassionate CEOs, Casual Dress Code, Free Books

Cons

The petty high school politics in this company will be their downfalls. They keep deadwood upper management / executives because there's a "bond" there. They pay far too little for their talent, over work them, and then given them poor reviews so they don't have to provide raises. A lateral move requires you to be buddy-buddy with the manager or exec in BOTH departments and doesn't go to those best qualified, instead goes to those who are friendly with higher ups.

Pros

Salary almost doubled in my 8 years here. Received a 40,000 bonus after the company was sold, some co-workers got 150,000.

Cons

Nobody has gotten a promotion to advanced or senior level in almost 3 years. Company is testing ai to replace us. Management gets more strict every year.

Pros

-Hybrid wfh 4 days a week and in office 1 day -Read books all day -Coworkers are great

Cons

-low pay (not livable wages) -micromanagement to the extreme (I’m currently documenting every minute of my day including bathroom breaks because even though I’m meeting my monthly metrics, I’m not time tracking to their standards) -literally no one cares about you. HR is a joke and doesn’t take anything serious. I’ve been waiting for 3 weeks to hear back from them when I complained about a hostile work environment. I’m being treated like a criminal because my time tracking isn’t perfect regardless that I’ve had zero performance issues in the 6 years I’ve been here -managers are out of touch. I told them I couldn’t afford gas and they sent me resources for a financial adviser. I hate it here
