I was hired and told that there would be plenty of opportunities to move up. Guess what? There have been none. They also reel you in with a 7K stock equity that matures after 4 years. But personally, I'd probably be dead or find myself in a psych ward before I reach those 4 years.
I have talked to many people who are constantly looking for other jobs, trying to find a way out and lead a meaningful career. The dissatisfaction of so many employees is a huge red flag. Given how many studies show that happy employees with high morale are more productive, it is deeply unsettling that the higher-ups do not seem to care about this fact. You are nothing but a number. If feeling appreciated and valued is something you're looking for, you won't find it here.
This is not Google, Facebook, or Apple. There is no company culture. There are no shuttles to the office. There are no TVs, ping pong tables, or anything else that these other companies have to offer.
The pay is so low that it is hard to utilize the employee stock option plan unless you live with your parents and have absolutely no bills to pay.
The workflow is constantly changing. And the training always falls short. Sometimes I'm not sure if the team leads even know what's going on. They expect you to learn a hands-on workflow through a PowerPoint presentation. And then be able to deliver their radically high standards within a few weeks.
