Pros

Large software product with a lot of learning opportunities and some room to grow in your career path Flexible in daily work i.e. doctor's appointment, picking up your child from school

Cons

Because there is an off-shore team, you may have project meetings at 8am. Deployments take place after hours and you may be asked to work at those times depending on your role. Hired as hybrid employee but this month (September 2023) they are "strongly encouraging" all hybrid employees to return to office two to three times a week, especially if you live within 40 miles distance from the office. At a business update meeting, the CEO said the company is not treating anyone like little people. However, if you want to make any exemption to the "strongly encouraged" two to three days a week in office, you have to submit a written request to the VP for review and approval. Management doesn't seem very supportive if you ask for exemption (i.e. living 38 miles from the office). I'm not the only employee feeling this way, there are others who have become very dissatisfied with the leadership direction and have mentioned they started looking elsewhere for opportunities.

We appreciate your feedback on your current experience with the company. We are pleased to hear about the growth and development opportunities that you are being offered within your role. We feel strongly that returning to the office will create opportunities to build stronger relationships cross functionally. It will drive more collaboration and rebuild a strong culture in a way that balances both the needs of our business and of our people. We will continue to provide flexibility to our staff by transitioning to a hybrid model. Please reach out to your Manager and/or Human Resources to discuss any accommodations you may need.

Pros

Exposure to complex client environments

Cons

Leadership communication can feel dismissive and inconsistently supportive. There are concerns around fairness in how opportunities and expectations are applied, with perceived favoritism in certain areas. Career growth is unclear, with limited visibility into progression paths. Open communication can feel discouraged, which impacts transparency and feedback. The environment can feel siloed, with uneven alignment across teams and at times a competitive or fragmented dynamic rather than consistent collaboration. The role was originally presented as remote, but this changed abruptly to a mandatory in-office requirement with very short notice. This created significant challenges for employees who had been hired under remote expectations or who were not based close to the office. After this change, there was increased emphasis on monitoring in-office attendance (e.g., badge/fob tracking) rather than focusing on output or work quality. This contributed to a perception of surveillance over trust-based performance management. In-office attendance was also perceived to be linked to performance outcomes such as bonuses or job security, which increased pressure during the transition. Escalation and issue resolution processes often felt focused on assigning blame rather than resolving root causes, making it harder to raise issues or get support. Work expectations frequently extended beyond standard working hours, impacting work-life balance and creating an expectation of constant availability.
