Pros
This place used to operate more like startup with somewhat of a lack of structure but there was good motivation and opportunities to contribute and work hard, and also feel you had your hand in the company having success. This has broken down very much. Current Pro - Usually free lunch 1-2 days a week, Sometimes snacks are there too. Compensation is not so high but you get paid on time and the check does not bounce but you do not get pay back for business expense.
Cons
Total breakdown of trust. Employees are being monitored like crazy. There is such emphasis on documenting and monitoring your work that it makes it harder to get the actual work done. Managers are rude and find a way to spin things into writing that only reflects a way to make them looking good. There were new policies put into place meant to speed up the time that a project takes and make the tasks more better documented to make people accountable, which could have been taken as a good improvement alone but it has now gone far past that. Every minute of your day you can be questioned on. You cannot say anything without being question. You are micromanaged every time of the day. If you question any of it you will have retaliation against you with more strictness. HR and upper management does not understand the problem. They set up meetings where people cannot be telling the truth. They do not hear the truth when you try to give it to them on the side. Even with "open door policy" you are being told that you cannot speak to others. Also office is too small. It may now be safety violation hazard so many people are here some of the days. With the over crowding and the noise you can not be doing your work well. The internet keeps being down. They said they would move to a bigger office but many months has gone by and there are no plans. You used to be able to work from home few days or half day so not have to deal with this so much but that is not being allowed any more.
