Pros
-The compensation when first starting is great. Possibly slightly lower pay than other companies, but great benefits. -Great work life/home life balance depending on team. -Incredibly smart and talented people to learn from and work with. -Dependent on team, but many managers lead with empathy and understanding. You are treated like an adult and expected to be able to self motivate.
Kontras
-Compensation goes downhill the longer you stay. -Making any headway on new projects is near impossible. A lot of meetings with zero progress made, and unless you're working on something flashy, you'll be given zero resources and encounter active roadblocks to progress and change. -Lack of ownership and accountability. If internal systems exist for specific vertical information, it's outdated. More often than not, it doesn't exist. -Appearance is more important than actual performance. Office politics are intense and it's not what you know, it's who you know. -ELT lacks transparency and clear communication. The strategy is always working, even when it's not. -Regular layoffs that are not performance based. The only warning you may receive will be a company wide email at the end of business the day before anyone knows if they're impacted or not. -The company has lost sight of what made it great.
