Pros
You'll work with (mostly) great people who work hard and care about each other.
Cons
- You won't get paid what you're worth. - You won't be considered for promotions -- but the CEO's cronies and yes-men get promoted over and over. If you don't cow-tow, no matter how hard you work or how well you perform, sooner or later you're going to be left on the cutting room floor. - There's no evidence that anyone in upper management knows how to actually grow a business -- this company has grown through acquisitions. They buy good companies and then break them. - There are CONSTANT pivots because of this, usually based on no data whatsoever. It's a pivotpalooza that will leave you feeling like you're in the looney bin. - Understand 100% that your manager is spying on everything you do and say on every work channel, there are NO PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS. - Speaking of spying, every TA computer now comes equipped with actual spyware that the top brass doesn't understand how to use. You'll be asked to hit 40 hours of 'productivity' which will require anywhere from 50-60 hours of actual work. And if you don't hit that, you'll be able to look forward to condescending lectures from the CEO via video and all-hands meetings. - The company is using this as a means of shrinking "without layoffs" and now straight up firing people. Who knows, maybe they plan to try to sell the mess they've created. - If you're at a company you love and it's purchased by TA, don't believe the honeymoon talk. Run. They will destroy your culture, take away your pay increases, gut your resources, and all your benefits will be worse. - The CULTure at TA is as artificial as you'll find anywhere. Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
