Pros

The Company cares a lot about their employees work-life balance. They match up to like 6% of 401K, take full advantage of the money on the table. If you put forth the effort you will be promoted. Management encourages personal development and wants to see employees rise. There are skip level meetings, which is great so that upper level management has a chance to get to know you and mentor you. You are recognized by your colleagues, as well, management readily gives Bravos for excelling in task. This may come in the form of monetary benefit, corp merch, and almost always recognition throughout the company. They value health and fitness. They love individuals that volunteer within their communities, Of course we want to make the world a better place than how we found it, if you don't know where to start, they spotlight opportunities in your area. Utilize all those employee benefits and bonuses. You literally can have the company pay for your healthcare expense if you participate in a few activities throughout the year. Besides, the offerings are endless, choose what best suits you.

Cons

The remote work is limited. Pay is okay, unfortunately with the rising cost of living, it could be better. Sometimes, ambiguities arise, but this is an opportunity to show upper level that you can overcome challenges in innovative ways.

Pros

Some very talented people give so much of themselves to the company, the clients and their co-workers. I work with (and have worked with) some excellent, smart, supportive people.

Cons

Too many layoffs. Upper management is clueless about how the day to day work gets done, what it takes to make certain changes to processes, and how to treat employees. Some are great. Mostly, they just look at numbers. So many of us have been doing our jobs long enough to know what is needed for certain requests. But we don't get a voice. We just have to do it and suck it up. They are firing ('reduction in force') all of the seasoned staff and let the rest deal with the fall-out. So many teams are losing good people but those people are training their off-shore replacements before they are told about being cut. So how is that a reduction in force? It's just a reduction in payroll numbers. Everyone is on edge just waiting for the next axe to fall. And we have to try and learn or teach another role with less experienced people and more work. It's crazy. On milestone anniversaries, they send an email recognition but once the milestone gets to over 15 years, you are a target. Pay and benefits are fine by me. Raises are practically non-existent, even after layoffs and asking employees to take on more responsibility. that's messed up. They talk about work/life balance but that doesn't trickle down to the actual workers who are so stressed they fear for their jobs if they don't do the extra mile. Many of us are just hanging on instead of quitting so we can at least get some severance. Others are actively looking.
