Avoid at All Cost

Pros

Bonus every year but are giving less and less each year. That's about it.

Cons

- New CEO is incompetent. Only cares about shareholders. Out of touch. Calls workers back to the office before covid slowed down (delta wave), took away unlimited sick time and replaced it with only 5 days per year (they don't roll over either), switched to more expensive healthcare plans. He's been the CEO of multiple companies and doesn't seem to have ever worked a day in his life. Isn't concerned about employee turnover. - Management doesn't effectively lead. They get told what to do by the executive team and just lay over and take it. - They don't value individual contributors. - Turn over is crazy bad. They will expect you to inherit cowokers responsibilities and never backfill positions. - No company culture even though CEO claims there is one.

Losing people fast

Pros

It is good to have big company experience on your resume for future opportunities. Other companies will lure away the experienced people with much better pay and benefits.

Cons

It is difficult to get vacations because they will call you in to work when there is a storm. CEO does not believe in remote work, so you must be in the office. Pay is not competitive and does not catch up with inflation, so getting paid less and less over time. No opportunities for advancement. No career development or path.

Pros

Great company, welcoming environment and good pay

Cons

No work life balance, mandatory overtime almost every day or at least once a week. must be there for a year to move departments. You have to plan in advance almost a few month to schedule a day off.
