Pros

All upper level management employees I met were very friendly and nice. Their system for retaining employees sounded impressive, but I was not there long enough to experience the bonus system myself.

Cons

Substantial lack in communication to employees being acquired in a merger. Management seemed very disorganized, and at times even dishonest.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
