Growing company - Don't trust executive team

Pros

Growing companies. Investing new local HQ's. Improved a lot of the last 5 years. Becoming better to work for.

Cons

Executive management cannot be trusted. Second half of 2018 said we are growing and we can't recruit fast enough. Hitting all financials targets. Jan 2019 laid off 10% of workforce

Pros

If you don't want to live or commute up to North Jersey the location is great. Some people working there are amazing and will bend over backwards to work with you, sadly these same people tend to burn out quickly. Pay is within reason, but more on the low side of the typical range for the industry. Benefits are iffy but the vacation package is decent and flexible. If you play the political game and stab people in the back you can move up very easily. Just remember: the person who tells the story first wins. That bit of knowledge will get you far.

Cons

Terrible work-life balance. While you are not 'required' to work overtime your reviews and ultimately your job status will suffer because of it (plus after a certain title level you will not be compensated for overtime). Management has extremely unrealistic timelines and demands. Management is unwilling to fix the problems at hand and instead blames the people who find issues and report it up. If you find a problem, you inherit the work load associated with it, even if that is not part of your job description (or under your department). Insanely high turnover. Product is not making it out the door because management will not authorize the time and resources to properly fix issues causing defects. Everyone wants to just bury their head in the sand instead. No communication. Overwhelming belief that people should feel privileged to work for the company.

This is not a fake review!

Pros

Free coffee, bagels on Friday, air conditioning and heating during the winter months, adequate paper towel in the bathrooms

Cons

Penny-pinching management; 1-1.5% yearly raises. Turnover rate at one point was like McDonalds. Watch out for possible fake reviews by either the company's HR Department or management. You won't find a "middle management needs revamping" con in this review. Very toxic environment. In essence, they implement for the workers stuck there a "10 year plan", where, with the 1-1.5% raises per year, it will take you 8-10 years to make market rate for your current position. Nice try executive-level management (I saw through that smoke screen) Stop spending thousands of dollars on renovating rental properties; put it into your people and technology. Running "lean" has nothing to do with the worker; it has everything to do with investors and executive portfolios. I don't know about you, but if I am not getting market rates for my current job, I am certainly NOT interested in doing the work of 2-3 people who quit, after finding greener pastures. I'm going to work slower. You folks need to get a piece of reality pie. There's a saying that rings true for this quasi-medical device palace: no matter how much you dress-up a hamburger, it will always be a hamburger, and Integra will always be a cheap hamburger.
