Pros
+ Work - life balance/blend/(insert latest buzzword) + The coworkers you interact with every day. In a company this large, there are many varied teams so take this with a grain of salt. + Stable, if not stagnant, business outlook
Cons
- Nonsensical, outdated policies from C-level leadership including remote work. Everyone has to go back to the office in Jan. 2022, but exceptions will be made for newly hired "top talent" who want to be remote. At least now we know what they think of current employees! - Stingy. During the onset of COVID, some of my coworkers were unable to get a webcam which is pretty essential for remote work. It was chalked up to pandemic austerity. Fast-forward a year and after the best year in company history, not much has changed and the CEO toots his own horn while the majority get raises that -just- keep up with inflation. - CEO Mark B. best described as aloof, aggrandizing, and surrounded by sycophants. - Noncompetitive benefits for a tech company (.25% per 1% 401k match, up to a max of 1% with a 4-year vesting schedule) - Bureaucratic to the point of stifling innovation and lacking common sense. Policies are applied company-wide without thought to the effects on all teams, especially small ones. Additionally, my team has been attempting to increase headcount for over a year and a half now but apparently requisitions always gets stuck on the desk of some senior manager - it seems the C-level team wants to sign off on everything. This bureaucratic culture trickles down, making even the "COVID response team" totally ineffectual. They take 3 weeks to send out a general alert if an employee in your office has COVID. - Their website is a mess. My team had a broken, outdated webpage on the opentext domain for a substantial time. How TF does that happen at a self-professed tech company? The disorganized intranet isn't any better.
