Pros

Some really good people, and talent staff

Cons

Benefits are non-existing and expensive (1600/m for healthcare) Management has no respect for experience of staff and of peoples personal time No understanding of what planning and project management is Rewards are made unattainable by design. As the lead for my team, I was told by my manager to make it impossible for my staff to meet their performance targets for bonus. Management constantly pit team members against each other on similar projects with the same objectives (they had no concept of wasting resources) The concept of team work and collaboration are a foreign concepts to them No respect for anyone's option but their own

Pros

There are some good employees here, but they're not part of the management

Cons

To summarize my experience, I came on as a part-time employee with the promise of full-time when I graduated. Covid-19 delayed that and my full-time rollover was pushed off. Up until June, I was told that the company still wasn't sure about the situation but they'd let me know as soon as they figured it out. Time continued to pass and I still heard nothing. Five separate times, I contacted my manager (as we were remote due to Covid) via email and Slack messaging, and each of these times I was completely ignored, to the point where I had to tell my teammate about the situation and he had to ask for me. I received the same nothing answer through him, and continued on until November, when I was randomly fired via phone call from HR, citing reasons of me not doing well on projects. It was overall a vague and clearly false reason, and not even from the manager who promised he'd keep me updated and that I would be employed full-time. The fact that I hadn't heard from my manager for 5 months, despite multiple messages by me, and that HR was the one to "fire" me with no genuine reason, showed me that all of the negative reviews on this site were correct. Communication was terrible and as a part-time and young employee, I clearly wasn't respected or cared about by the management.

Pros

Hard working coworkers wearing multiple hats

Cons

Poor to no communication internally - company wide. Training is non existent, most everything is learned on the fly, very poorly communicated and often changed without any prior notice given. Management is inept - employees are treated poorly, count on being talked down to, as if you were on the subhuman level. No contingency plan is in place for any issues that do arise frequently. Save yourself the hassle and look for a far more reputable employer that will actually care about your success and give you a direction/tools to succeed.
