Pros

Salary, new building and facilieties, free coffee

Cons

My experience with this company was, unfortunately, very disappointing. During the probation period, there was a complete lack of feedback or any constructive communication—no indication of what needed improvement or any opportunity for development. It was all the more surprising when, just one day before the end of the probation period, I was informed—without any prior warning—about the termination of our cooperation. The onboarding process was chaotic and lacked a clear explanation of responsibilities. Throughout the probation period, I did not receive any feedback or guidance on what or how to improve. Communication was minimal, and instead of support, the cooperation was abruptly terminated just a day before the end of the probation. A professional approach was clearly missing.

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
