Erosion of compensation

Pros

The employees are generally smart and competent.

Cons

Erosion of compensation and benefits: Utilization bonus - gone Performance bonus - gone Floating holidays - gone Ability to take DTO after parental leave - gone Every year new benefits and compensations are reduced. This has been going on for the last 5 years at least. A slow erosion year by year, they find something new to blame it on each year. Leadership blames industry circumstances for things they have been wanting to do all along.
