Pros

Flexible work/life. Every employee is golden, because the attrition rate skyrocketed, and they don't hire replacements.

Cons

Pay is not competitive. Office is empty. No interesting work. No innovation. No raises, good luck EVER seeing a promotion. Corporate propaganda emails read like they were written by a robot, then filtered through 17 layers of HR filtering. They promise change. It's been more then a year. There is no change. Took a promising company with a big profit margin that employees loved - and "melded" it with a bunch of under-performing companies, then proceeded to cut our budget to the bare bone. That's why there's no raises, no good pay, no innovation.

Pros

Great people! Team members/coworkers are fantastic

Cons

It’s still kind of an old school culture mindset. They move slower and have red tape

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
