Pros
Work from home hired on skill rather than experience Interesting work medical/dental/vision
Cons
Recently laid off a little over a hundred, maybe hundred fifty employees. No one knew. They pulled our chat servers offline, had a meeting for supervisors and let them know a bunch of folks were getting let go. They pulled the chat servers offline to forcibly log-off anyone who was fired. No one was called or notified of termination, and we were told not to talk about it. There has been no reassurance from upper management that we're not going out of business. The closure of our major tenant that was like 70% of our business was announced, but we were all told our jobs were secure, as the business was coming back in-house. However, a day before the new year, they axed the entire staff of the department, and a large number of employees in still thriving (and busy) departments, leading me to believe the ship is sinking. I'd like to ask more about it, but I think I'd wind up on someone's list. Everyone is terrified, today. They will be tomorrow. We know now that our employer couldn't care less about us. Supervisors don't even know if they still have a team, or a full team. And NO ONE is answering these questions; we're not supposed to talk about it. You know how they fire you? They pull all your access. You can't even get into your employee email to figure out what's going on. If you call your supervisor, they say to call command. You call the command center, and they say to contact HR.... and HR? They don't answer the phones. I think HR is like one guy, and he's still busy at this moment posting ads on craiglist for our new, low paying position doing networking stuff. If you're thinking about applying here, hey, it's work from home, and you can get hands on experience on the front lines of malware caught in-the-wild. That's super, super fun. (although mostly toolbars, as you'd expect.) The employees are knowledgeable and there is a great hive-mind you can tap when you're stumped. ....if PTE positions EVER open up again. I'm starting to think we might be transitioning away from that whole thing. I don't know, because top brass doesn't seem to communicate plans of action anytime before or after putting them into action. A lot of folks are quitting. Morale is down. Maybe some spots will open up! No raises though, ever.
