Poor leadership

Pros

Coworkers are generally very smart, passionate people.

Cons

Raises are tiny and do not keep up with inflation. Pay is generally right at or below market for positions. Upper leadership is out of touch and condescending. A decision was recently made to send employees back to office 3 days a week, despite telling employees previously that this wasn't the plan. Morale is incredibly low right now. An earlier review said leadership values profit over purpose, which is an accurate description. Very little diversity. There have been many surveys and focus groups around this, but no real progress is ever made. No real benefits for being a high performing employee, and no accountability for those who are just skating along at the bare minimum. I've seen people stay at this company for many years who contribute very little.

Great team but lost respect for CEO

Pros

Good pay, plenty of new technology to work with, and a team that works well together.

Cons

Recently the CEO made it very clear he has no empathy for his employees as he announced return to office. Last fall he held a town meeting and said we will work where we want as long as we stay productive. He advised that’s what sets OCLC apart from places like Google and Chase. Last month he did a complete 180 and held two meetings that basically told his employees that if we are not happy about returning it’s our problem and we can move on if we don’t like it. We are more than capable of being highly productive from home versus sitting in a sea of cubicles and wasting time commuting daily.

Nice people, low pay

Pros

People I work with directly are great. Variety of work. Good benefits. Company is (apparently) doing well financially.

Cons

Pay significantly lower than similar positions at other companies, and raises are minimal as well. Executives preach Diversity but the top 3 levels of the company are almost entirely white. The classic "you've all been doing great working from home" followed by "you're forced to come back to the office". Total lack of upward mobility. Sexual harassments does happen, it turns out "training" people for 30 minutes a year doesn't fix everything.
