Pros

US team is great, US subsidiary is 100% remote

Cons

Salaries are significantly lower than market but the parent company (based in UK) acts as though they're doing you a huge favor when they're claiming a market adjustment and in reality adding few extra pennies. The culture at the parent company is very toxic, women are constantly undervalued, turn over is very high. Communication from the top is terrible and when it does happen, it becomes very obvious that the executive team is oblivious and doesn't understand current market. Mgmt changes responsibilities without taking into account person's experience, then blaming the person for not performing. Promises are made to keep employees from leaving but are consistently not delivered.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views. I appreciate your feedback and I’m sorry to hear that this experience didn’t work out for you. A number of issues you raise don’t make for easy reading and I take this sort of feedback seriously. I’d like to comment specifically on some of the points: all salaries are benchmarked with local market data to ensure we're providing a competitive remuneration package and the exercise that you refer to, confirmed this. While we can always do more, we’ve been encouraged by the results we see in our employee survey – feedback about managers is on par with the best performing companies. We do trust our management to lead and help employees when in need and to make the best decisions for their teams. Thanks again for your feedback and I wish you all the best in your career. Jenny Trist, Chief People Officer
