No work/life balance Apathetic management
Pros
Work from home, Internet stipend, generous PTO based on tenure; 17 days minimum up to 27 . PTO sell back (up to 40 hrs) PTO carry over (up to 80 hrs) 9 paid holidays. Two additional floating holidays, Benefits are decent if single not as good if carrying a family. Maternity and paternity leave. Depending on salary easy to transfer between departments. As a whole, PPD not a bad company just my department.
Cons
No such thing as a 40-hour week more like 55-60 min. Management in my department is clueless, unhelpful and gives vague advice that doesn't help. Triaging RFPs and RFIs is a joke. Assignments always more complicated then led to believe. I have had two check in calls in 4 months with my manager. High turnover due to lack of staff for workload and lack of help with problems. Others lack of planning is your emergency. Lack of clarity on work boundaries. A lot of talk of improvement with little action. Feedback requested but never moved on. My division in my department does not even have team calls since last manager quit after 6 months. Rapidly changing procedures are not communicated well to team. Upper management and HR do not seem to care. I tried to raise an issue with HR regarding performance and was told I could only talk to my manager who was the problem. No one in HR wants to help just cover PPD. PPD just went public. I am sure c-suite got stock options and bonuses, but normal workers received nothing but an email saying thanks for hard work. Perhaps stock employee option is in the works but no word.
