Pros
- Well-equipped kitchen - location - work from home/PTO
Cons
- When they're hiring, they promise bonuses at the interview. But forget to mention those haven't been paid out in years. It's a lie from the start. When you have a family and rely on bonuses because you agreed to a lower salary — don't. Focus exclusively on the fixed pay, you'll save yourself the real life trouble. It's already below-market compensation anyway. - HR work is limited to hiring, lay-offs, and admin. Their decisions are based on gossip, usually never communicate directly with the people affected and if its one sided and based on your personal relationship with them. When they like you, they hang out with you. When they don't, they don't even care about your opinion - even if its work related and your input is very much needed for company success. - gaslighting that's been going on for years - When the HR is on your side, you have a great negotiating position — nobody fires you just like that, even if you barely work. You get insider information you shouldn't have at all. etc.
