Pros

Good colleagues, decent benefits, decent pay

Cons

Leadership changes its position constantly with no transparency. If you're stressed from COVID they put you on a PIP because you're not reaching their new extreme targets that were made after COVID started. Sorry that I can't fill 30 hours of "productive" work (vaguely described) per week when the workload immediately dropped off. Especially when leadership was lazy at providing actual work to do in that time. And then when you reach your PIP targets they say that your ADHD is the reason why you can't keep your job (looking at multiple different displays during meetings does not mean I'm not focusing, but thanks for your consideration, nor does typing in Slack 4 minutes after my shift starts that I'm here mean I'm actually late.) No chance for promotion or raise unless you're exceeding any reasonable worker target.

Great people and the job was fun.

Cons

Did not get paid what I’m worth. Not flexible in pay. Kept in the dark regarding pay for a long time.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits package, flexibility and control over one’s own schedule within reason. Majority of colleagues are fantastic to work with. Generally seems like they actually care about employees. Employee recognition is improving. For the role specifically, builds a lot of great soft skills that are transferable if there’s desire to move into other roles/depts.

Cons

Some aspects of benefits fall a bit short of what other large tech companies offer, but not terribly so. Putting a lot of emphasis on AI, which wouldn’t be a con if not for the uncertain landscape of job security and given some recent actions from other tech companies to fund their AI initiatives in favor of employee benefits. Promotions difficult to achieve at times even with proper performance. For this role, working with customers always has its difficulties and can sometimes feel like you’re the punching bag for things out of your control.
