Senior leadership is squandering years of employee goodwill in months over petty return-to-office silliness

Is project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Teammates and team managers are largely great people. Lower level leadership really cares and tries to do the right thing. - In some roles, willing to take flyers on less-traditional tech hires and train them - No-layoff policy in recessions. - 3 weeks vacation on day 1. - Solid work-life balance. Compressed work weeks often available and 40 hour weeks are largely the rule. - Management ranks are largely promoted from within, if you want to stay with the company.

Cons

- Technologists ultimately being led by logisticians who don't always seem to get technologists or software development. Senior management won't let go of the old-style top-down mentality, even when it hinders the Agile transformation or ultimately hurts the company, i.e. the 2021 return-to-office. - Tech stack is very modern in some areas, but leads to a very dated COBOL back end. - Dress code, if that's an issue for you. - Pays below industry average

Great place to be...if you fit company culture

Business Outlook

Pros

- Ability to move around within the company and try new roles - Company doesn't do mass layoffs during hard economic times - Leaders in their industry - Many corporate roles where you don't have to take work home with you (pre-COVID of course) -Good healthcare benefits and option to participate in ESPP -Downtown office location

Cons

- Company culture is antiquated -No parental leave program in place and no signs that it's a priority - No option for flexible schedule or WFH - No HR and no formal policies. Makes it easy for them to make exceptions for some and then tell others that's not something they do. - Low pay across the board - Many people with extremely long tenure...makes change difficult

Run far away - your career growth goes here to die

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

- Worked with some very nice and kind individuals, although i'd say about 75% of them voiced privately of disliking the company and/or their job - There were a select few that taught me valuable business knowledge - The really good "eggs" were spectacular at their jobs, those few rarely stuck around the company though due to the poor pay and high pressure

Cons

- Horrible people management tactics, designed to hold your career and income back by deferring and delaying - All execs have been chugging the Kool Aide so long they're basically robots being suffocated by their ties repeating the same nonsense about Expeditors culture - Very below market pay - You're basically babysat on when you show up to work and when you leave and you're required to take a 1 hour lunch break everyday - CEO all the way down have zero interest in changing the culture, updating policies, or negotiating anything - The tie obviously is just way outdated, no work from home allowed and won't be considered again for a long time (Shot down completely in 2018 I heard) - slim to no chance of formal training or career growth/knowledge development opportunities - Long tenured employees have an attitude that they can't get fired so they produce the bare minimum work and no one holds them accountable. These individuals are also likely to be entitled, arrogant, and mean just because they can - Terrible management culture continued.....they constantly promoted "technical" people into management roles which created a sub-culture of neglect and unhappiness (They did seem to start making changes to this though from what i saw, aka demoting terrible managers) ***Run away from this company, your career will go to here to die
