Godawful company management and benefits, in every aspect/level.
- RAISES CAPPED AT 2%. Even for the highest performers.
- "Unlimited PTO (most people take 2-3 weeks)" --quote from onboarding document
- No bonuses, for anything (performance, retention, signing)
- Your salary offer WILL be disappointing; they are banking on applicants being too "mission driven" to care about competitive compensation
- Shady practices from HR on the non-compete agreement. Unless you are specifically "fired without cause" (layoffs), YOU ARE NOT BOUND BY THE NONCOMPETE UNLESS THEY PAY YOU GARDEN LEAVE (6 MO. SALARY). Check the agreement you signed. HR will make it seem like you're bound by it no matter what.
-CEO refuses to let go of technical decision-making and is slowing down/obstructing useful projects
-Every team uses different standards and software because someone on that team came from a company that used that standard/software
-Onboarding barely existant
-Onsite cafe is NOT free, only mildly subsidised. Plus, bare-bones food options for folks working 3rd shift.
-The decision-making of team-level managers and middle-management folks appears to be extremely personality-dependent/who shouts the loudest/who is the most conflict-avoidant. Then, that mess gets dumped onto ICs in the form of conflicting/constantly changing priorities & job security being dependent on who you're friends with.
