Pros

- 401k - Medical Center - Childcare - Concierge - Summer hours and Christmas shutdown

Cons

- Most employees are doing 2-3 jobs to cover our Great Resignation. There is no thank you or recognition. - Employees are burnt out, becoming more negative, lacking drive. - Management+ openingly share they don't have decision making rights. - Trust, empathy, empowerment, career development have been stripped away. - Forced PMP distribution buildt on leadership favoritism. - Doctor approved medical reasons to WFH during pandemic are denied. - Sr. Leadership is never seen outside their offices. - It used to be a culture that hired people who sought innovation, asked questions, led change by data and had empathy. Those individuals are now leaving the company. They are frustrated and defeated because leadership doesn't value their need for positive change. Leadership wants employees that don't question any of their demands. - Strategies are built, but projects are put on hold for the latest fire a leader has. It's busy work to help leadership win their political battle amongst their peers. - There are no action plans for exit interviews, employee opinion survey or any other surveys conducted this past year.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
