Promised 25% bonus, company did well, I was rated well, yet received under 2%. Was forced to take a large pay cut due to being overqualified, yet shortly after starting new tiers were added above me and I was told I could work hard to get there.
Company has a very cult-like culture and you must go to all the functions. You must pretend you like it or else it will impact your career even in the face of distinguished technical achievement in the field.
You'll be told there is parking available yet once on the job you'll be forced to take shuttle buses with obnoxious hourly workers who screamed on their phones and threw gum at each other. Even after a year there will be no sign of ever getting assigned a real parking space near the building.
Break rooms appear well stocked when you get the tour, but once on the job if you look closer everything must be paid for. You must make coffee yourself often, the staff doesn't set it out and it's always empty.
They will force a previous salary out of you during employment verification, then magically arrive at a number 5K above that no matter how you negotiated prior to that "discovery".
Surveys supposedly are anonymous but if you give bad marks you will find your comments in an HR file at a later date.
