- Lack of professional growth opportunities: when it comes down to it, there are few real opportunities, which do not always come along. For data evaluation, it typically means Integrity Solutions, Evaluation Team Lead, or Project Management, and neither one of them are great long term plans.
- Evaluation management has allowed some individuals to work from home while not offering this benefit to everyone. This was offered as a contingency plan to stop them from leaving. It's frustrating knowing that this was offered to individuals, not all known for quality work, because they were about to quit.
- Yet, perks for the regular workers reduce by the day: less and less flexibility with vacation and personal time, tighter deadlines, no more casual dress code despite minimal interaction with external visitors.
- Internal promotions not always directly tied to competency level / work ethic.
- Work / life balance decreases as you increase in experience, rather than the other way around.
- Dealing with the Columbus OH branch is a nightmare. They are the ones in charge of specialty technologies, operate in their own little bubble of incompetency and are not held to the same standard, yet the Houston group is held accountable for doing quality checks for work they should be doing. There is zero transparency with their projects, but we're still expected to check that they don't break anything, as if we were dealing with children.
- Mediocre pay, stingy raises, if any.
- Yet, management expects more from you: "We won't give raises this year, but you need to produce more and we will micromanage you to make sure you do that."
- Management will portray every new product and venture as a massive success, yet, we all know that's not the case. Many of these new business segments are rushed and not executed correctly so they end up selling the product without having the right people and logistics in place just to make a profit..
- Make you buy your own company gear instead of giving you an allowance.
If you did good in school and have something that's not a sociology or history degree, I'd recommend you look somewhere else. Rosen is good, as a last resort.
