Not confident in future of company, RTO feels like a weird punishment

Director

CEO approval

Pros

I like the people, I’ve met some truly amazing folks here that I enjoy working with. There’s a variety of work and access to prestigious brands. The pay is decent and competitive.

Cons

Reorg after reorg leaves people either stranded on islands or grouped into odd placements. Lack of resources and expected to wear many hats that aren’t part of the JD to get things done. No clear growth path, feels easy to get lost in the reorg shuffle. Upper management asks for feedback but doesn’t actually want it.

Pros

Some of the people you work with will be great. The company name looks good on a resume.

Cons

If management is considered valuable they will be kept despite high turnover from their subordinates. Yelling and verbal abuse is allowed with 0 repercussions. If you leave voluntarily you do not get paid for your unused vacation time, so be sure to use it beforehand. You may also be lied to about why a role is open in the first place so beware, do your due diligence. Salaries are also pretty low but I believe that is standard for publishing. 401K is trash (company match doesn't start until 1 year of employment). The work-life balance needs improvement as well as diversity and inclusion efforts.
