Cons
TA presents itself as a company that values transparency, internal growth, and employee success. However, leadership’s actions often contradict these claims. Multiple structural shakeups have created instability across teams, with employees being asked to “reimagine” their own roles—responsibilities, job titles, and salary expectations included—only to have leadership override those efforts without explanation or feedback. Pay increases that were deemed “not possible” have later been offered to external hires, and internal mobility, though encouraged in theory, is often blocked in practice, again with no explanation or feedback as to why. Employees have been assured their roles were secure, only to later find their job descriptions reposted with higher salaries. Some were even involved in interviews, unknowingly participating in the hiring process for their own replacements. Leadership insists on stability, yet decision-making is inconsistent, communication is vague, and accountability is severely lacking. You might wonder: Why wouldn’t someone leave when the signs were there? Many employees recognize the issues but stay for their teams—the people actually doing the work. Loyalty isn’t to leadership, but to colleagues who would otherwise be left scrambling after yet another poorly handled transition. But the longer you stay, the clearer it becomes: pushing for clarity, fair compensation, or leadership accountability puts a target on your back. You’ll be considered “disrespectful” and “not a team player.” Leadership claims to value transparency, but in practice, communication is selective and decisions seem to serve leadership first. (no matter how many times they want to preach they are putting their team first in 2025) If you’re considering working here, understand that while there are great people in the trenches, leadership’s approach to decision-making is consistently unpredictable and frustrating. Be prepared to advocate for yourself—but also recognize that by doing so, you’ll be pushed out. A few things to be aware of: 1. “We’ll re-evaluate in six months” is often code for moving the goalposts on raises and promotions. 2. Asking for feedback? Silence is an answer—document everything. 3. Reviews warning you to “heed the signs and stay away” without much detail? Many employees hesitate to share specifics, likely out of caution due to the company taking legal action for reviews and “disparaging” comments about TA (read everything you sign). This is just a high-level overview of my experience. I haven’t even touched on some of the more blatant issues involving leadership. TA once had a reputation as a great place to work. Unfortunately, those days seem to be behind the company. For the sake of those still here and anyone considering joining, I truly hope things improve.
