Pros
-Work from home option & flexibility -Some of the brightest and best people to work with -Discretionary Time Off (DTO, sometimes referred to as "Unlimited Vacation") can be great for some employees (depends on management). -You will not be bored here -Fast-paced environment -A lot of learning -Good base salary
Cons
-Very lean teams -Very long hours -Over worked employees, some burning out due to the unbearable workloads -No work-life balance due to all the urgent demands that are all priorities and were all due yesterday. Management expects the work to be done with unreasonable timelines all the while you are doing 3-4 people’s jobs as the company downsizes -Poor Senior Leadership -Lack of vision -Too many process changes every time you blink -Performance Management stack ranking against peers (30% High, 55% Middle, 15% Low) -Very little formal training if any -You live and breathe cost cutting -High turnover - colleagues leave and that creates more work for those that stay behind who absorb their work -Huge company debt -Layoffs -Minimal raises and low bonuses even to the high performers -Benefits are below average -Rare 401K match (only when company meets the EBITDA) -Low employee moral -No job security -Senior Management treats hard-working employees who work long hours and do their job as disposable and will even rate them as a low performer due to stack ranking -They do not want you to work charge over-time, but expect you to have the work done
