Pros

Referral bonuses available Not as toxic as other places I've worked

Cons

Senior leadership loves to talk about how transparent they are, but they will not directly answer your specific questions. They love to beat around the bush. The yearly raises and bonuses are laughable when compared to the yearly salaries of the executives (public information on Propublica) New hires do not get bonuses anymore unless hired in at a certain level Very clear/obvious that some managers have favorites Some managers are very immature There are a lot of cliques, some people won't even acknowledge your hello or smile Some positions aren't posted - they are just given to someone directly selected by a manager, without opportunity for others who may have been interested The C-suite employees love to *act* like they care about individuals, but it feels like how politicians try to earn votes

Pros

Work is interesting, people are great except for senior leadership. Work can be monotonous but there is opportunity for some cross training which helps; middle management is great for the most part

Cons

Pay is below average for industry and there is a huge range in pay for people doing the exact same work; promotions are difficult to receive - we shouldn't have to interview for promotions. Employees should have the opportunity to be promoted just based off merit and experience; "hybrid" work model forced upon employees when jobs can be done remotely; lack of care for employees from senior leadership
