Shiny & promising company with frequent layoffs

Anonymous employee

Pros

The physical workplace is nice, there is an on site gym, cafeteria, and modern design. This attracts potential employees to a promised land, but the money is invested here rather than your annual raises. Salary is pretty good, but know that annual raises are not meeting inflation so it's best to aim high with your job acceptance. Benefit options are great with multiple carriers to choose from. PTO is above market.

Cons

Leadership! They are very top heavy and don't consider the workload they put on employees in the departments that keep the company afloat. Almost all departments are severely understaffed, but the headcount allowance is low so they do not see it this way. Due to the low headcount, turnover is high because the workload is unbearable and unsustainable. Frequent layoffs within the past year that are disguised as a reorganization or worksmart initiative.Unfortunately they lay off the core employees that are needed to keep the overall company afloat. Once leadership is made aware that departments are failing they will punish the remaining employees and bring new employees into these positions just to layoff again when all is steady - and so the cycle repeats. Most employees are overworked and spend weekends meeting deadlines. Favoritism is huge.

Veterans beware

Pros

Money if you can get it. 3/4 work schedule. Plenty of time off. Females this company is for you as they prioritise your training and promotion over Ethics.

Cons

Dishonorable unethical entity. Veterans beware. HR knowingly is a tool used by Management to abuse employees. This company lacks genuine human connection. Narratives rule Truth is not a priority. Current employees need to Study EEOC complaint process and use it. Reporting management to internal groups only warns them who to target. Direct quote from HR. "Do not concentrate on right and wrong concentrate on what moves the team forward." 1st and 2nd level Management are disconnected and full of reactionary toxic political cowards lacking true knowledge of the people and tool sets they manage. 1st and 2nd levels of Management are the chaff leftover after the  true talent has exited the company. Company is social politically driven. Make sure you document everything. Do not let anything slide because they wont once you complain.
