Pros

Benefits are great, mid-level managers and below employees work extremely hard to get the job done. Great, hard-working and collaborative team members have kept me motivated.

Cons

Executive level management is disorganized. Company goals and strategies change constantly resulting in minimal security or stability. Salary increases and bonus scales are ridiculously difficult to attain even for super star workers. Very politically driven and appears that promotions and compensation are determined by politics rather than talent.

Pros

Great Benefits & Remote Work

Cons

No matter how hard you work, there’s no recognition or pay increase. I wouldn’t recommend using the open-door policy if you have concerns about a manager. I raised an ongoing issue and ended up being written up based on claims that I wasn’t completing my work, even though I was following instructions. When layoffs happened, I was unfortunately among the first to be let go. It felt like a real slap in the face after all the time and commitment I gave to the company.
