Pros

Flexible hours, relaxed working environment, tech employee benefits par the course.

Cons

Disconnect with employee base; implementing new extremely unpopular travel expenditure program and somehow with stock at an all time high, while nearing profitability, compensation increases are lackluster and remain below market rate. Upward visibility overemphasized.

Pros

Peers/ co-workers, flexibility, genuine nice co-workers

Cons

Lack of integrity and honesty. Sr, Director visited SLC two months ago and held 1:1 meetings to find out what she can do better and tell her something she did know. It was all smoke and mirrors and a waste of travel budget as they laid us all off. Workday get your crap together. You let go of some amazing, knowledgeable individuals that could’ve been moved to other orgs/locations but instead you decided to hand them their walking papers.
