Pros

20ish PTO days, 10ish sick days, free snacks + coffee, free bus or parking pass, $500 employer HSA contribution, 50% of gym costs reimbursed, and work from home (frequency depends on department and individual)

Cons

Ridiculously low pay for area. Expect to have long commutes and live with roommates Very few promotions, raises are essentially non-existent, very high turnover, lots of lay-offs, and lots of shipping jobs abroad Upper management is untrustworthy, not transparent, does not keep promises, does not listen to those beneath them and does not implement requested changes Many direct managers are inexperienced, occasionally unprofessional, and play favourites based on likeability rather than merit/innovation Frequent technology outages which leave clients angry and makes it impossible for many to perform their job. This issue has been on-going for years. Technology is also very outdated and inefficient We recently laid off and outsourced IT to save. The new IT Help Desk is 100% incompetent and a waste of time The work is monotonous and inefficient. Also, depending on the day, you will either be slammed or have nothing at all if you work with clients Decreasing panel and lack of competitive offerings mean we are losing revenue every year as our clients are going to our competitors

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
