Pros

Coworkers are great, until you get higher and higher into management

Cons

All this place does it try to control people. You can't even attend a virtual meeting with your camera off without being yelled at (how is that inclusive?). If you share an opinion that goes against the norm or challenge the way something is done, you will face consequences. Don't even share your personal feelings. Stop making tiny little things or comments or opinions into big deals, and actually listen to what people have to say instead of finding a way to dismiss it.

Meh compensation, Too much politics

Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues. Okay compensation and benefits. Hybrid work arrangement.

Cons

- Bonus is so low compared to market average. - 401k match is not vested until you hit 2 years mark. - Educational benefit is not worth it, have to stay for years otherwise you have to pay back everything. - Raise are performance based but comes with conditions and you end up not getting much. - Overall compensation and benefits are not competitive at all. - Executives have no vision, full of politics and not doing what’s best for the company and members. Just what’s best and convenient for them. - Organization structure doesn’t make any sense and has to do with politics, and it affects how poorly the resources are managed. - No clear direction on advancement. - Want to hire more younger people but don’t give them enough opportunities to grow or trust them enough to make changes.
