Pros
Pay and benefits are competitive, but have gone down in the past 2 years with new HR leadership. Remote flexibility is great and a really big positive.
Cons
The stuff that made this company special is gone with the new HR and top level leadership. People are no longer people here. Middle management is stressed out and feels unsure of expectations. Great leaders are disappearing either literally or because they don’t understand objectives and don’t have time for us. They’ll ask us to solve a problem independently, we’ll work on it for months - then there’s a full switch to make the work irrelevant. If we knew the high-level goals, we could help avoid wasting so much time. I don’t blame my manager for this. It comes from the top. There used to be empowerment on all levels - that’s gone. Basic expenses and additional support are hard to get approved now - penny pinching the day to day stuff that is needed for a positive work environment so the company can pay for an all-employee offsite feels totally out of touch. The culture used to be self-empowerment and positive movement towards change from all levels. Now it’s scare tactics with military speakers. I’m not the only one who feels obligated to go to the all-employee event. I’d rather get my work done and move the actual business forward to support our customers and my group.
