Pros

Fully remote, Immediate team members are good people. If you like being in endless meetings without ever accomplishing anything- this job is for you!

Cons

Inconsistent practices at best. Internal communication does not exist- the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Zero career growth opportunities. Promotions are handed to anyone who is in the bro club everyone has to apply / beg for a promotion or pay increase and is denied despite pages of examples to why an increase is warranted. Expected to do multiple projects outside of your job description without additional compensation. Always creating new initiatives without fixing existing issues or seeing the last 'new initiative' through. Very sexist environment with fragile egos that do not know how to handle constructive feedback or criticism. Someone could have a fantastic idea, but if their title doesn't reflect the idea, it's a bad one because 'upper management' didn't come up with it. Always asking for feedback but never actually listening, or implementing anything. So many people in leadership positions that have no business leading other people- but they're Tandem OG's- so it doesn't matter.

Limited Growth Opportunities in Certain Departments

Pros

Work from home/Hybrid options, support with creating good at-home work environment, benefits, decent work/life balance

Cons

Low pay for hourly employees and extremely limited growth opportunities. It has been incredibly difficult to find growth within the company that aligns with my professional goals after almost 2 years. There is no collaboration with other departments within my role that would allow me to network or learn new skills plus they often increase our workload with no raise or compensation at all. I regret taking on this role right out of college because I feel it has stunted my opportunities, especially in the tough 2023 job market. Despite joining other organizations within the company to expand my skills and network, it is insanely difficult to be noticed as a prospective candidate- even for internal roles. Not to mention the insanely low pay for living in San Diego in 2023. It is becoming nearly impossible to stay afloat with the current pay for this role and I'm shocked when I see open positions offered at a couple dollars less an hour than mine.

Pros

- Good entry job, they hire anybody with a pulse. Work from home opportunities for some teams. Most coworkers are cool and friendly. Good DEI efforts, inclusive environment. You can learn a lot if you're a go-getter and can gain experience in multiple fields.

Cons

Culture of laziness and complacency due to lack of incentives; most remaining employees are burned out and stopped trying to fix things a long time ago...the ambitious and intelligent employees tend to leave the company quickly. Most of the managers cannot be trusted; they will throw you under the bus, hoard information, and sabotage top performers out of fear that they will be replaced. The pay is absolute garbage, don't expect significant raises/promotions either. Attempting to switch departments or teams will get you "blacklisted" . Nepotism is out of control, everybody is in a relationship with each other or is family/friends. Company has a bureaucratic environment that does not reward employees based on merit or competency. Management cliques protect and promote each other. Employees that have been there too long (the "old guard") are way too comfortable and act like dictators; they do not like any new ideas that deviate from their outdated processes. Do NOT trust HR; they are well aware of the company issues but try hide everything with a "culture of smiles". Stock options have been removed, bonuses were slashed, layoffs occurred, stock price collapsed 80% in a year and a half. Customer experience is also terrible, nearly all the reviews are negative.
