Pros

Top Management looks for innovative ways of employee engagement Overall the organization encourages employee flexibility and flexible pto options and believes in work life balance

Cons

Work-Life balance Individual departments do not buy into the overall organization policies. You are constantly questioned if you come in beyond 9am (like at 9:05). There is no empathy for working women or men who have kids. You are questioned if you take morning calls from home or work from home because you had had a extremely busy day with a lot of meetings and did’nt find time to commute to work. Processes Our department specifically, management hands over work to individuals at the very last minute when they don’t want do that kind of work. Everyone in the team is afraid to talk to top management. Processes are put in place to slow us down rather than to enable us. And these processes are not followed by management and they constantly override it. Career Enablement You are constantly compared to your peers who have more experience and told that you are not performing to a peer who has way more experience than you. We are supposed to have a career enablement model, how is comparing self to peer a career enablement model?

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
