Pros

Someones benefits when they don't change annually.

Cons

The company has a pattern of investing in employee development but then laying staff off to improve financial metrics. While leadership questions high turnover, employees often feel a lack of job security. Those with higher salaries due to experience, as well as newer hires, may find themselves unsupported during challenging times. In addition, new initiatives, software, and strategies are consistently rolled out from upper management with a “bird’s eye” perspective, without gathering meaningful input from the teams directly impacted. This top-down approach limits the effectiveness of change and overlooks valuable expertise at the operational level. The organization has significant potential, but in practice, it functions as little more than a place to collect a paycheck, as meaningful change is rarely supported or sustained. Even programs branded under IMPACT feel misaligned — more like “Imposing Management’s Plans And Cutting Talent” than truly empowering employees.

Pros

6% 401K match, no vesting period

Cons

This used to be a people-focused, high values company with integrity. Today it is prioritizing short-term financial targets at the direct expense of the employees. The business is profitable, but leadership is demanding that’s it’s not profitable ENOUGH (for the rich people). Employees have become numbers on a spreadsheet. Over the past year, the shift has been especially noticeable in the U.S.: * Return-to-office mandate (2–3 days per week), including employees hired as remote. This includes Big Brother like badge tracking and monthly attendance reporting. * Only one month’s notice that unused PTO would no longer carry over. Use it or lose it. * Elimination of the employee recognition financial rewards program. * Layoffs every six months, creating ongoing uncertainty. * Incentives for long-tenure (old) employees to resign. If you’re considering joining, go in with realistic expectations. The company still has talented people and good products, but the employee experience is no longer what it was. Job security, flexibility, and employee goodwill no longer feel like priorities.
