Pros
Many hard working, good people. The insurance is very good.
Cons
Benefits and overall treatment of employees is suffering under the current leadership. Everything from PTO, pay and flexibility in work from home has been on a downward trend. You truly are just a number here and upward mobility is extremely limited. Not a good place to be anymore.

Some departments have more politics than work

Low pay, Often having to work from home and overtime hours.
Pros
- Their 401k vests "immediately". Most other companies make you wait a year or 2, so this was unique. - Generous annual HSA contributions - Access to medical clinics exclusive to a list of company employees (including AMAT), so easier to schedule compared to others. - Bonus % are strong if you're B4/M4 or above - Many of the employees and leadership who came from outside the past few years are pretty awesome people. They bring their outside experience and bring a fresh perspective being in far more chaotic work environments.
Cons
- Salaries are generally so-so. Not "bad" per se, but not strong relative to market especially given the huge workloads you're likely to receive. - Top of finance leadership does reorgs what felt like every year with little transparency or feedback on why. - Their Anaplan implementation sucks. - They "did" have student loan repayment benefit (paid $400 per month on my behalf, tax-free). But I believed this expired as of Dec 2024. I don't know if they still continue to do so. - "Originally" 2x in-office, while you can work from home remainder of the week. As of mid-2024, all employees were forced to come into office 5x week. (For people leaders, this has been going on since Oct 2023). - Their equity for employees below director-level is a joke. Other tech companies offer significantly more. It is also not tax-free, so it feels even smaller once you're vested. - Unlimited PTO. This used to be a *pro* during my first year when work loads were balanced. But prior to leaving, I had to cancel PTO I scheduled a month in advance (for just 3 days) because of work demands. - Leadership role swapping. There are a few prodigiously horrible directors there and very few good ones, and it's musical chairs because of their reorgs (one min you have a great boss, few months later, you get one of the bad ones). - The culture is a joke.

Cons
Lack of Leadership Skills: Demand managers often lack the necessary leadership qualities, including effective communication, decision-making, and team-building skills. This creates unnecessary challenges for employees. - Bias and Favoritism: There is clear favoritism displayed by demand managers, with certain employees receiving preferential treatment. For example, some employees are allowed to take extended breaks and work from home without following proper approval processes. This unequal treatment creates resentment among team members and undermines fairness. Use of Inappropriate Language: Demand managers frequently use unprofessional language; this type of behavior creates a toxic and demotivating environment. - Unprofessional Physical Contact: Instances of inappropriate physical interactions, such as poking employees with fingers or slapping shoulders during meetings, are not uncommon. Such actions are unprofessional and create discomfort among employees. - Targeted Behavior: Employees who respectfully raise concerns or challenge unreasonable demands are often targeted unfairly. These stifles open communication and innovation. - Lack of Accountability: Demand managers often deflect responsibility for their own decisions, blaming team members for any issues. This further erodes trust and morale within the team. Suggestions for Improvement: - Implement mandatory leadership training for demand managers to address gaps in professionalism, communication, and management skills. - Establish clear policies to prevent favoritism and ensure equal treatment for all employees. Create mechanisms for monitoring workplace behavior, such as tracking break durations and enforcing work-from-home approval protocols. - Enforce zero tolerance for unprofessional language and physical interactions through strict workplace behavior guidelines. - Create an anonymous feedback system to allow employees to report concerns without fear of retaliation. - Hold managers accountable for their actions to foster a culture of trust, fairness, and respect.
Pros
Dynamic and interesting industry. Generally good people to work with especially at mid and lower levels. Decent job security.
Cons
With "Flexible Time Off" coworkers don't take time off which dis-incentivizes others from doing so. They took away hybrid work schedule w/ no real justification. Come to find out that upper management didn't trust us to work from home, so instead they forced us into cubicles 5 days a week...
