Pros
If you currently have a stable job then I advise you remain there, and use this company to negotiate a counter offer from your current workplace. If you’re looking for work this is a great place to work while you continue looking. Its a rough market so do what you need to do. The people who do the work are awesome. Their morale has bottomed out and many are looking for their next landing spot. Work schedule can be flexible and ‘Family First’ is still a core value. Overtime not required and set boundaries because if you need to do it, you won’t be rewarded or recognized for it.
Cons
The leaders that held up the core values are no longer there. There's been a rapid decline in culture since 2021 and morale bottomed out in 2023. Nepotism runs rampant and the board of directors needs to investigate, especially the HR team. HR is supposed to set the example but they have direct family members in a reporting chain or within their department. They weren’t impacted by layoffs and multiple members were given promotions within 30 days of the layoffs while the rest of us were told not to expect anything. Leaders around the org suspect that more than just a couple of promotions occurred (salary adjustments, bonuses, or other retention post layoff). HR changed PTO policy to ‘No payout at all’ which is fine if you elect to leave, but with a business this rocky it’s too risky to work here without guarantee of some severance. HR can’t recognize when they’re engaging in discrimination. It took me 1 year and 9 months along with re-requests for previously provided documented information on my report’s progress to get them promoted past an entry level role. Meanwhile the same scrutiny isn’t applied across other roles, including their own. There's also one review of the CEO on Glassdoor and its locked to the CPO's review because they're afraid of the actual data. They shouldn’t be because CEO sentiment has been positive but is rapidly declining due to the feeling he’s absent.
