Bad place for Technology Jobs and strong performers

Senior analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/Life balance is good. Lot of company sponsored events where there is free food and drinks. Flexible work from home policies and good PTO. If you happen to be in the right group, working for the right person, work can be interesting, exciting and challenging. This is not very common though. CEO is a pro sales person, so sales folks can definitely give it a shot. In some cases, having TU experience in the resume will make it attractive.

Cons

Career opportunities are very limited. As stated in other reviews, there is absolutely NO clarity on promotions. Mostly based on favoritism. There is NO recognition for going an extra mile or for doing something beyond the obvious. Compensation is below industry average (CR~0.75) and yearly raises are peanuts. Most people don't know spelling for the word MERIT ! Strong performers should stay away from TU, unless they want to chill and have a stable job. Technology being used is not the latest and most sought after in the industry.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, great medical benefits (BCBS IL), room for individual career growth

Cons

Unlimited PTO is great, but it’s hard to actually want to use it when you know what your workload is going to be after you get back. Mass layoffs that affected people seemingly based on salary alone, rather than benefit or lack thereof to the company. Meaning a lot of people who were laid off were key players. No plans for coverage of workload post layoffs so work immediately became draining and horrible for affected teams. Morale is basically non-existent. Newcomers are immediately set up for failure with very little strong middle management to coach and teach, which is necessary given the complicated nature of the company. Be prepared to work with very little support and in toxic environments. Huge cultural issues, worsened post-layoffs. Stressful. Feel constantly overworked, underpaid, and disrespected.
