Good place to work, but not to grow

Pros

• Great 401k match • "Free" HDHP health insurance option with HSA • 45% employee discount • Usually laid back and most people are nice, work is not too stressful • Currently allowing remote work (but they were not accepting of this before)

Cons

• Outdated tech depending on your team and department. • Performance or profit sharing bonuses are non-existent. Everyone gets a small amount for Christmas (which I appreciate), but nothing more. • 5 year vesting period on 401k. • There is no incentive for hard work. High performance won't get you more than a 4-5% raise. Work from lazy/slow workers gets passed on to the performers. • You will get stuck doing the same things and you generally will not continue learning and growing at an acceptable pace for the tech industry. • Many managers are great but some are clueless and not accepting of anything that does not go their way. • Some managers pass off a significant amount of their own work and responsibilities to their team (but some are great and take on more responsibility than they really should).
