Pros
- People are friendly - Work is fun and rewarding depending on which team you are on - Nice amenities, fun events
Cons
- Management incapable of giving constructive feedback (or receiving it) until after it is too late and hard decisions need to be made. Most requests for feedback were simply met with placating statements and approvals... Basically everything is fantastic until all of a sudden the building is on fire. Smiles and backstabs. - Several former colleagues burned by management putting them in roles or responsibilities they didn't want, and then tossing them when they either couldn't perform to unrealistic standards without assistance or expressing dissent or feedback. I don't know many former colleagues with amicable feelings regarding their departures. - Team structures, goals, and responsibilities were constantly changing several times a year. Several teams are filled and led by very young and not highly experienced indivuduals, which would be fine if given the proper support and mentorship. They are not, and the company leadership has made it clear: those needing mentorship are not a good fit. Odd for a company that is majority 20s and 30s. - Culture is changing for the worse. During my time we went from having 3 person HR department led by a very involved and active HR leader to having a single recruiter. Management didn't fill these positions. - COVID19 Experience: I was one of several employees temporarily laid off due to COVID. My experience was awful compared with several colleagues in other industries/companies. I was temporily dismissed via a 5 minute zoom call, and told Mappedin would be in contact regarding my temporay layoff. I was immediately cut off and instructed to return my equipment within 24 hours. This was during a lockdown. I was contacted only a handful of times unprompted over the course of the following year, and only to communicate the changes made to the ESA, which is to say, communicate that they had no responsibiltiy to recall me or provide any sort of timeline or communication according to the changes to the ESA. During this time my severance was denied and questions regarding several job openings (including previously held positions) the company had posted were dismissed.
