Pros

Definitely the people. The benefits are good (for now).

Cons

The CEO is archaic forcing everyone back into the office 3 days a week. The majority of us working from home are getting the job done and instead of weeding out those who are not, they punish those that do!! There have been layoffs all the while hiring more people. The benefits are good now but will be changing based on the survey we received. The higher ups only care about profit. No longer does this company care about its employees. They are no longer transparent. There’s no more trust. Managers are not able to be free to think on their own as they are too afraid of losing their jobs. This company is going to hell in a hand basket!! The two stars are for the people and the benefits now. I’m no longer proud to work here. I’m actually ashamed. Two great companies totally destroyed by the new CEO.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
