Depending on your department, work life balance doesn't exist or isn't respected. They did at least two rounds of surprise layoffs in the couple years I worked there. I was affected by the most recent one. It felt very manipulated and calculated. Not even two months after I was laid off, they re-posted my position. Which just gives me confirmation of my gut feeling. They did this exact same thing of laying off someone and then re-posting their position 2 months later after the first round of layoffs. Seems to be a pattern and I am glad I am not a part of it anymore. Depending on your department, no one will give you feedback or bring up concerns to you. My family and I think I was laid off because I set boundaries and had work life balance and my boss (who was hired after me) wanted a workaholic. I was given crap for taking time off at the holidays to spend with my family (that I requested several months in advance). I was expected to work weekends, nights, all hours without any extra compensation or a schedule change to accommodate those. I asked for a raise based on a lot of data that my responsibilities had changed and grown since accepting the position and proved it and was told no for no reason. I wish the next person in that position luck because they will need it.
