Pros

Being able to work from home is a plus Company has a good look from outside( good sellable profile but inside is not the most conducive)

Cons

I am not the person to always give excuses for actions which is why I always take responsibilities to things I didn’t even do because the goal is to always get something resolved rather than putting blames. I would’ve still been blaming myself for every hiccups until I started hearing from other co workers. This company is an unstructured big company that only cares about how things look on the outside. Most people that end up leaving this company at least my team mostly leave with the complains about medical reasons. Un realistic Expectations are set so high that triggers stress and have people end up at the hospital. I’ve had co workers tell me but I didn’t take it seriously until it happened to me multiple times for me to believe. I was diagnosed with something recently that is literally making a lot of changes in my eyes but took a while to accept the changes but yet I kept on being discriminated continually for the symptoms it causes. Imagine having to go through life changing events and having being discriminated at a place that claims to have a company culture. When I finally accepted some symptoms I was having, I reached out to the companies hr on ways to walk around the symptoms because I complained to my doctor about this but it was a situation of this is your health an this are the symptoms, there is nothing they could do. Out of courtesy, hr was just following the ADA steps to meet up but basically said they could not do anything and I could take off or quit if needed in a nice way. Nothing was basically discussed in the meeting but yet I received a follow up email like we came up with a plan. That was when I really really realized I was being played just for them to be in compliance. I was so confused. I wish I had listened to previous co workers complains about their health before they left. If you talk about something, other things are being documented just to make them look good and I’ve seen this has an habit. It is impossible to take off as well because when you come back you are expected to meet the expectations but yet work on what you were meant to do when you were away. So technically for me, I am a lost cause right now for with this thing I am current battling.

It is like a cult

Pros

Some nice people, but you will find really great people most places. It is nothing that unique.

Cons

Encourages cult-like behaviors. They tend to isolate and penalize folks for speaking up . Same for those that leave. I was hopeful a former colleague would return, but after interviewing they did not get hired and they were by far the best candidate. Some leaders expect inappropriate loyalty for sure. All the talk when I first joined about "drinking our own wine" should have been a red flag. Then the shoes! Indeed scary cult-like.
