Pros

- Company has that, we will do whatever the customer needs to get the business attitude - Growing company - Upper management works hard to communicate their vision and direction of what the company is about, and what direction they want to take the company, this includes expectations from what they want from employees - Good people, morale is pretty high across the board. - Great versatility on different types of products, technology, and solutions, that gets to be worked on.

Cons

Need more focus around career development of people. There is no clear path to move up, and management rarely promotes from within, though this does not seem universal, since other groups around us do promote from within. This lack of career paths is constant source of frustration for some people in the organization. Management manages the customer programs, but do very little to manage and or develop their employees.

Thank you. I do believe we promote from within perhaps more than what you see but very good feedback which I will share. Providing a clear career path can be difficult as we want individuals to pursue their passions rather than the potential of excessive structure. Part of our mission is to be a Growth company which we hope will continue to provide more diverse and plentiful opportunities for employees. I do get your point and I encourage you to talk to your manager or department VP or anyone on the HR team to discuss your career options. Finally, we’re in the middle of a pilot for an employee mentoring program called NOVA. Depending on the level of success of the pilot, it will likely be expanded. More to come. Thank you again and good luck.

Pros

Remote work was nice. Pay and benefits were decent.

Cons

- Toxic, toxic, toxic - Zero work life balance - Lots of back stabbing going on. Too many management changes. Everyone has to claw for things in a negative way to get anywhere. - Bro culture and a company founder who prays and preaches at company meetings? That should NEVER happen. - No inclusivity. They say DEI is important but when the leaders are praying and seemingly right wing that doesn't reflect. - "Great Place to Work" is a total scam. They basically make you do it, talk about it constantly, remind you to take the surveys, even say how to rate. It's disingenuous. - Over-worked and ran PM's too thin, then when you get too burned out to do your job effectively you're not supported. I was running multiple projects during the day and had another project that required 12 am, 2am meetings as it was an Asian customer. I had no balance, no sleep, zero support. Instead of mitigating it, they wrote me up because I forgot something trivial (so trivial I don't even remember what it was). I was so stressed my hair literally fell out! I was so grateful to have another company headhunt me so that I could quit. TOXIC!
