Pros

You get a below competitor paycheck

Cons

How did you get treated during this pandemic? NO 401k match, “voluntary layoffs” no merits Did the execs take a paycut? NO Did the execs give back bonus? NO Did the execs sign on bonuses get held back? Doubtful The leaders care about the money in their pockets not the employees that is the culture. You have no worth here whatsoever. It doesn’t get any better here since we merged with INC it gets worse and worse. After the merger it had so much potential but the turnover and the leadership decisions say everything. The reviews with five stars have very little words that says something

Since merger has gone downhill

Business Outlook

Pros

WFH flexibility, good salary, strong benefits, offers domestic partner insurance, good 401K match

Cons

Since the merger, the company has become too big and the once very good CEO and VPs seem overwhelmed and unprepared for leading the new company. Lacks strategic foresight. Cannot secure bids/new revenue. Support infrastructure is horrible as it is mostly outsourced or located in low cost centers (Finance/IT). Department executives/leaders are poorly chosen for the roles with no knowledge of what they are trying to lead causing talent to run for the hills and the threat of never-ending layoffs looms as each department is driven slowly into the ground through mismanagement of resources, poor client relations and decisions to throw tried and true systems out the window to save a buck.
