Out of touch and terrible with feedback

Pros

Good Pay and benefits---but make sure to negotiate when onboarding!

Cons

The badging exercise is real here! More important than the actual work that needs to be done, and the C-Suite/Joe just want to gaslight everyone that they need to be in person again---All because the building couldn't be sold! Many office analytical jobs thrive in an at home office which was proven during the pandemic. Flexibility is just lip service and micromanaging is prevalent across the org. C-Suite and upper management make ill advised decisions with little time on job---Upper management is a revolving door, and all the constant restructuring is just smoke and mirrors in the endless chaos. Annual increases are very low compared to other companies which is why you need to thoroughly negotiate if onboarding.

Pros

I felt the work-life balance was good. There were times where it could feel overwhelming and candidates can be rude to you. But if you don't take it personally it's fine. If you're lucky and have a good supervisor, the work is a million times better. I had one decent and one amazing supervisor there and it made all the difference. I felt I had a good amount of power in coming to them with issues or when asking for a raise.

Cons

The company's executive leadership does not seemed concerned with the wellness of their employees. It's a healthcare company, and yet would force their employees to take PTO when they had Covid. They have no sick days, and other benefits were lacking. It felt like leadership structure and policies changed every 3 months. Just basically out of touch.
