      Pros

      - Your manager likely won't even know what you actually do, so you don't have to do much

      Cons

      - Executives lie to your face in all hands meetings. Was told there was a company trip to Mexico planned. That never happened. Was promised $5k at 5 years, but they changed that policy as I got to my 5 years. Another lie. - They are pushing hard to sell the company

      We understand your frustration regarding the canceled company trip to Mexico. It was a difficult decision made due to COVID concerns, and we needed to prioritize the safety of our employees. As for the anniversary award, we are constantly evaluating our internal programs to ensure they are both meaningful and scalable as we grow. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to take a three-week sabbatical and choice of gift to celebrate your five-year milestone anniversary. Please reach out to your manager or HR for additional clarification. We take all feedback seriously and are committed to continuous improvement.

      Pros

      - Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

      Cons

      - Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
