Overworked, undervalued, underpaid, and underdeveloped.
Pros
Good benefits starting on day one. Good PTO package for new employees (4 weeks). Flexible work schedule can promote work life balance.
Cons
They’ve continued to cut merit increases, monthly incentive pay, and eliminated the cell phone stipend in an effort to cut costs. They offer promotions without an increase to base salaries while trying to sell it with monthly incentives that they can and will also change to pay less. There is very little diversity, equity, and inclusion in the organization. Especially within leadership roles at the management level and above. Opportunities for advancement are extremely limited and often given to “favorites” without interviewing all qualified candidates, if they even posted a requisition at all. HR does not get involved when concerns are brought to them and often redirect back to management. Development is your own responsibility. There are limited resources available to help individuals grow and even more limited roles with a pay increase for people to grow their careers with. Software releases are often bugged and not fully tested. Certain products do not have a roadmap that is conducive to resolving customer issues or maintaining competitive edges within the market. If you aren’t considered a favorite with management, get comfortable in your role.
