Still a Great Place to Work but could be slipping.

Pros

Paid benefits, flexible work hours, caring employees. An executive team like none I ever met or seen before. Executive team takes the time to meet and talk to all of the employees. They genuinely want to receive feedback on how to improve the company and make it better for all employees.

Cons

Nepotism. <=> Under qualified mangers/leaders in key some key positions. Hard work and personal sacrifice not always recognized or rewarded. Culture being used is negative ways to impeded positive progress.

Thank you and welcome to the team. Your "Cons" are concerning. If you're comfortable in sharing specifics, please contact HR or a member of the Executive Team. Thanks again.

Pros

Excellent benefits, laid-back work environment, freedom to venture new technology, friendly people(most of the time!), NO SURPRISES!( you'd definitely know before getting fired!!), free tshirts on any occasion, perks/employee discounts.

Cons

There's a veiled favoritism in every corner of the office, most people have been here for 10+years and they brought along friends/families who gets the upper hand during promotions/training/career advice. Some departments are overlooked by the upper managements and the achievements by some are going unnoticed. I hated the infamous "3 things you'd like to improve about yourself"- whats the point of telling my desired areas of improvement if someone who is already bombarded with work gets priority over me?!

Thank you. Although we've been in business since 1990, over half of our nearly 4000 employees have been hired within the last 2 years. We have a very popular employee referral program which at times involves friends, relatives, former co-workers, etc. Knowing someone may help being introduced to the company but it doesn't provide priority with any employment decisions. All employees are expected to perform on their own merit; and advancement, training, etc. should have no correlation to who you know. Thanks very much for this feedback.
