Pros
Autonomy, schedule freedom, yearly COLA increases
Cons
At J-U-B, there is a noticeable disparity in compensation, bonuses, growth opportunities, and shares between engineers and non-engineers, despite the significant skills and contributions of the latter. This inequity undermines morale and fosters a toxic work environment characterized by gossip and slander. Employees without shares often feel undervalued, further exacerbating dissatisfaction. Additionally, there is a lack of effective communication within the company, as area managers and group leads frequently fail to relay important information to staff. Management tends to listen to young professionals straight out of school but often overlooks the insights and experience of seasoned employees who have been in the industry for decades. Furthermore, if you professionally disagree with anyone in a position of influence, you risk facing punishment and being blacklisted, which stifles open dialogue and further erodes trust and collaboration.
