Investing in the future!

Pros

I love working at TU! The people on my team are smart and hard-working; I feel like I am constantly learning from my peers. The company is investing heavily in technology and we're beginning to implement strategic forecasting and planning across departments. Strong benefits, remote flexibility, growth opportunity.

Cons

Educational benefits are somewhat lacking: tuition reimbursement program is only 5K per year and there is no formalized educational stipend. Employees have the opportunity to attend conferences, workshops, certification classes, etc- but company sponsorship is ad hoc and not guaranteed. Pay is competitive, but the structure is not 'pay-for-performance' (there are no bonuses for individual contributors, variable bonuses for Director and above only).

Not a bad place to work

Pros

Great location near many forms of transportation nearby and good benefits including nice onsite gym with a trainer offering a ton of various classes (free).

Cons

1. Perception was a huge concern with all departments in the company; everyone worried about what others thought more than what it would take to make their people happy. 2. Pay was relatively low compared to the job function you performed, you had to come in high from the outside or you were stuck with 3% raises annually. So negotiate that extra $5000 before walking in or it would take you 2-3 years to make that.

Rule by fear and Rotten Culture

Pros

On-site gym is convenient. Pay is decent if you are male. Some have great work-life balance; others are overworked.

Cons

First and foremost: If you've been fired or suddenly get a poorly justified negative performance review, document everything, and perhaps get legal advice ASAP before signing anything away. Now on to the substance: The lifers who have wormed their way to middle management rule by fear. You can smell it every time someone is fired. People huddle with their heads down in their cubicles and hope they're not next. If you speak up against them, expect to be fired or to have fabricated failures on a performance review. Don't underestimate the influence they've amassed. They've got HR reps and people in all groups in their pockets, so you have surprisingly few places to turn to. Lots of the blame game goes on. Junior employees learn quickly from veterans at the company. Finger pointing is the company sport. Something didn't get done? Well it's his fault, not mine.
