Pros

Allowed to work remotely during and after pandemic. Enjoy the people I work with, my manager is flexible with time off, doctor's appts, etc. and doesn't micromanage. We get a lot of PTO and holidays, with the exception of Good Friday and Christmas Eve (strangely). It's a great place to work overall, just terrible at advancement and salary.

Cons

I have requested a pay increase and/or title change for over 3 years. I am always told that my job description fits my title and the decision is not up to my manager. I have been doing 3 other people's work since 5 people left my department last year during the Great Resignation. They left because they were offered a larger salary from other employers. My salary is at least $20k below the average, but I stay because the PTO and benefits are good. I dread starting over after being with company for 14 years.

Poor senior management and pay, great time off & benefits

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Good time off benefits Some very good colleagues

Cons

Bad Structure - A string of unsuccessful restructures. A lack of accountability from the senior management team. Some very dysfunctional directors & VPs being promoted and enabled. Senior management does not want constructive feedback or input, only sycophantic support. Effective teams are reduced in size (or kept the same with an increase in work), ineffective teams as expanded. More likely than not, if you are joining a research or marketing team, you are taking over more than one role that was never backfilled. Very low pay - expect $40-50k for junior roles, $60-75k for mid-level roles (including management of people) and $90+ for 'senior management roles. For the UK, expect £28-35 for junior roles, £40-60 for mid-level roles, and £65+ for senior management roles. Inconsistent rules for pay that are secretive and act as 'blockers' around promotions. Poor management is swept under the rug or sometimes rewarded.
