Pros

The work/ Life Balance is very good, but it all depends on who you are working under.

Cons

The raise is absolute crap. The company made 9.2B last year and the average raise is less than 2%. The bonus is also no where in line with what recruiting and HR will tell you. Take that % and cut it in half, then reduce it. A lot of good people are also being let go. They keep folks that must have some great political skills over people that are actually moving the needle. The CEO also only cares about the stock price. She'll come on sight and lie to you about how she cares. But at the end of the day her 23 million dollar salary is more important to her than her word and the staff. The DEI is so strong here- I had a VP position open and received multiple emails from 1 and 2 down from the CEO about how hiring someone of color or diversity for my role was the focus. Not the best person, that was never noted. Just someone in the DE area. Benefits- the more you make the more they take. So, a single guy making decent money will pay double what some one else would pay for a family of 4. It's a hybrid deal- 3 days in, 2 WFH. They sprung that on us last year with no warning. Also, the communication is terrrrrrible.. You find out your boss or bosses boss was let go based on a new org chart from someone that is 4 levels above you that you've never met.

Pros

Consistent schedule/hours Decent Pay Office events & Food trucks Hybrid; - They supply you with all required equipment (nice monitor) ( has some cons ) - You have the option to work mostly remote only needing to come in once or twice a month to make sure your id card doesn't deactivate.

Cons

I'll start off by saying the last thing anyone wants to hear a manager who is leading a Training course/class is "i haven't done this role/department in over (xx Amount of time > 1 year) When the very fundamental rules and information can change drastically over the span of months. - Unstable management - Unrealistic KPIs - Information Inconsistency ( contradicting leadership; Ask one escalations specialist/manager one thing have to call back and get a completely different answer from someone else) - Information Subject to change - NO HR onsite; Extremely difficult to get in contact with HR and if they tell you something your manager will contradict them almost immediately. Equipment/platforms; There should be a separate department specifically for Account online support or they could just make their site not a headache. - BAD laptops & headsets (They Cheaped out) - The never ending list of platforms you have to navigate(and struggle with) just to do your job will make you lose your mind. NONE of the websites are streamed line nor efficient to use. (Unreliable) - Offshore IT (they love to not help but tell you the issue has been resolved)
