Business Outlook

Pros

Entire week of Christmas off, good health insurance, flexible hybrid schedule

Cons

Indifferent and dishonest management, shifting priorities, massive downsizing, and undependable. I was hired to work here and left a good job/company that I had been at for more than 4 years. They knowingly hired people for positions even when they knew the business was facing a downturn. They then fired these people by lying and saying they had not met their goals when in actuality they purposefully created roadblocks so they wouldn't have to provide unemployment benefits. Please do not work here. They have had massive layoffs. Upper management exists in crystal towers and doesn't care that they are actively recruiting people for roles that will be eliminated months later. Also, they can't agree on goals causing the goal posts to shift constantly.

Pros

Talented people with expertise and willingness to share market and product knowledge. Ramp up time was very generous and direct line manager very supportive on new initiatives and ideas.

Cons

Recent news of restructuring handled very poorly. Were told 6 weeks in advance you may or may not have a position, but we value you.
