Pros

Ability to meet a lot of candidates.

Cons

- Significant pay discrepancies existed, with employees hired later receiving up to 30% more for performing the same role. - My employment ended due to a company “restructuring” shortly after I raised concerns about compensation fairness, despite receiving positive performance feedback from leadership. - Throughout my 3.5-year tenure, compensation was not reviewed, despite initial assurances. - Explanations for pay differences cited location and market factors, though I was based in a high-cost region and broader market conditions continued to shift. - The recruiting team played a key role in the company’s success, handling thousands of interviews, yet often felt overlooked in internal recognition and external communications. - There was limited communication from management—only a handful of team meetings took place over several years. - Overall company culture lacked transparency and consistent engagement.
