Pros

- Benefits - Exciting growth at the company - Stock doing well

Cons

- Management is very old school, and you are constantly micromanaged, as they have no trust in their employees - No flexibility - A " I must see you in your seat working" mentality - No real culture (yet during the interview process you hear about the great culture) - Compensation is not comparable to other companies in the area

Pros

Decent pay Good benefits Comfortable location Friendly coworkers

Cons

It's a gamble whether it will be good to work here based on who your manager is. A few are good, many are bad, and it's a country club. If you complain up the chain, you will be disliked by management and likely see worse performance reviews, and HR is no help at all. Your job will not necessarily be what you're hired for. Your responsibilities won't match the description, and will change without your input or any increase in pay. Negotiation is frowned upon. Management knows best is the mantra. If you push back or give too much feedback, you will be marked as non-compliance and not given promotions or raises. Continue to give too much feedback and they'll find a reason to fire you. Inconsistent management styles. Poor communication between teams and up the chain. Feedback is not wanted by management, but they will tell you that it is. Pay is middling, but raises are also middling and unlikely to be higher than that ever.

Pros

- Good benefits/bonus - Decent salary

Cons

- Long hours are expected. 60 hour weeks are getting more and more common. - The team is severely understaffed. People have many aging tasks that they don't have the time to complete. - Management does not appreciate hard work. If you put in 60 hours in a week but you had 80 hours worth of tasks in your queue, your manager will call you up and yell at you for not working fast enough. - Company is completely siloed and communication between teams is terrible, if it exists at all. - No personal/career development. Management has never expressed any interest in developing or training employees on my team. - People are regularly interrupted and talked over during team meetings. - Remote work will soon be limited to three days per week (corporate policy).
