Global talent treated as a cost-center rather than an investment

Pros

-Benefits are decent (like unlimited time off) but don't think you will actually have time to take it :)

Cons

-very poor salary, way below the average. Salary increases are a slap in the face (0-3%). This has been escalated over the years and they are aware of the problem, as they admit it themselves that the “salaries were not adjusted to the current rates”, but especially if you are outside the US, they look at you purely from a cheap labor perspective, not even as someone equal to them. Your extensive knowledge or experience will not really matter here. -Relativity has pioneered a unique "Schrödinger’s Promotion" system. Even if you are a high-performer, and logically you meet the criteria for the promotion, this opportunity will be blocked as it would mean increasing the salary. No one can provide an answer what are the other secret conditions that still need to be met, and they are very skilled at the carrot and the stick technique. And while you are asking for that raise, they will hire new people for your team starting from the level above you because no one wants to work for that rate anymore. Of course, the director will pretend it makes the perfect sense! -As someone here already mentioned, if you are brave enough to point out toxic practices, congratulations! You have officially become "The Problem." Expect to be gaslit with high-level efficiency until you begin to question your own reality. Unfortunately, I was unlucky enough to deal with a toxic manager, where issues were treated as "matters that cannot be shared outside 1:1" to be silenced rather than solved. -As another user mentioned here, problems are skilfully covered during the employee satisfaction surveys and problematic matters are ignored.

Pros

Good work-life balance Decent pay CEO Mike Gamson and some of the senior management

Cons

Mike Gamson left Private Equity now is leading the game and just looking at the bottom line rather than caring about their employees. recently cut 10% of workforce out of nowhere and new CEO has joined.
