Pros

Im learning many different technologies and we are at the very least able to demo new tech aside from the products we already own.

Cons

iHM is starting to push a RTO (return to office) policy. Most if not all of the IT professionals in the company are not happy about this. It was stated that we were all permanently virtual (for IT) and now all of a sudden we are being told to return to the office. Many of our colleagues moved away from their respective offices to other cities after they were made virtual. The few times I've been to the office myself I'm reminded how terrible commutes are and how time consuming they are. The usual rhetoric is being used which is more collaboration and other points with no supporting evidence from iHM.

A disaster of a company to work for

Pros

There are some very smart, decided people at this company, especially if you're in the right decision or on the right team. It can be fun at times and the work life balance isn't bad.

Cons

Summary: low pay, terrible benefits, and incompetent upper management. It's difficult to fully convey how poorly run this company is; it's staggering how inept the upper management is. It's a top heavy company with maybe 15 different "presidents", sometimes reporting to each other. They clearly never communicate with each other and the people they elevate to senior leadership roles are sometimes baffling. They have a habit of laying off some of the smartest, most dedicated employees at random times while keeping dead weight. Don't look for inspiring leaders here anymore; they've mostly been driven out. I've worked at a number of large companies and, while they had their problems, none of them were ever this badly run. They pay seems to be well below industry standards. They love to inflate titles but not pay the going rate. As a policy, they do not give anyone raises unless you get promoted, which only happens if you pay their games. They'll cut out bonuses and benefits at the drop of a hat (401k match was suspended for nearly 2 1/2 years with the pandemic as the excuse). Vacation time is pitiful and the health plans are a joke. Be ready to shell out big bucks for any medical procedure even if you have the top plan. The worst part is I really liked my job and team when I was there. It's hard to watch good people being treated so poorly by a company that literally doesn't know what it's doing.
