Pros
Company used to care about its employees. There is a variety of work and opportunities to learn new skills.
Cons
The company's management practices are deeply concerning, marked by a gradual reduction in employee benefits and an inflexible mandate for a full return to the office. This seems designed to exert additional pressure for longer working hours. Upper management lacks transparency and employs manipulative tactics, including guilt-tripping, to control the workforce. The work environment is toxic, and work-life balance is virtually non-existent. Despite any extra effort, expect only a minimal annual raise, which is well below market rate and often denied on arbitrary grounds. Over the last two years, the department has lost all its top performers, signaling a decline in organizational health. Promotions appear to be based on cronyism rather than merit. It's evident that the company is pushing for employee turnover to sidestep severance and unemployment costs. I'm relieved to have left before the situation deteriorated further with layoffs and increased exploitation are likely to continue.
