Pros

Flexible hours, Great coworkers. Those are really the only positive comments I can make about my experience at The Right Thing.

Cons

In my interview I was told I'd be hired in as part time but would become full time within two-three months. Twelve months later, still no promotion, and it wasn't for lack of doing a good job. When I met with HR to check in after 3 months, after 6 months, 8 and when I finally quit, they fully denied ever telling me I would ever be given a full time position. Employees are overworked and underpaid, in the fullest sense of the word. The company isn't even that big and after a full year of working for the company, senior leadership still hadn't even spoken to me or acknowledged me when passing the halls. I truly felt like they no longer cared about their employees. Hours were taken away from me at the last minute, and I was not compensated for time I was scheduled. BIG BROTHER WAS WATCHING. The company regularly monitored employee's computer screens and key fob scans at the doors, I was pulled into a meeting with HR because I had AIM running on my computer (instead of the company-approved MSN chat), and another time because I left the building during my shift to get something out of my car (they monitored the key fob swipes and asked why I left during the middle of the shift). I felt like I wasn't trusted for doing a good job, I wasn't rewarded for doing a good job, and I was forced to lie to clients about who I was and what company I represented ( I was working as a recruiter on behalf of another corporation). By far the worst place I ever worked.

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
