Pros

The snacks were a nice afterthought. Also, there are only two people in the HR department so it's easy to figure out who is messing things up.

Cons

HR department caused a number of issues for a number of employees. HR department is unprofessional and worst of all, non-confidential with employee information (HR members gossip with other unrelated employees). This department is also known within the company for being passive aggressive, and victimizes employees who speak up or have issue or comments with how things are run. HR department refuses to take responsibility for any errors or mistakes made on their part. Additionally, there are very few personal and professional growth opportunities for employees in middle management or entry level positions within this company. Compensation is consistently 15% (or more) under industry average.

Pros

Snacks and some of the people. Stock options and 401k. I learned how to deal with a lot of stressful situations.

Cons

In 5 years of working there I had 6 different supervisors. The company has been changing since the day I got there. I was hoping it would smooth out but just became more and more disorganized. New leadership at the highest level created more chaos and no focus on the direction of the company. We kept having to redo every project multiple times because it was either not good enough or incorrect but now one knew what was the correct answer to anything. I also did way more than what was included in my job description and normally I am happy to help out but without a basic merit increase after my "very good" performance review, I could not stand the imbalance of power between management and regular employees and the way they communicated to me. They tell you one thing and do another thing. HR was difficult to work with by not pushing through requests unless you pestered them about it. They discriminated against certain employees by not communicating an ability to leave early for a holiday.

Pros

Free food, causal dress code

Cons

Upper management is SEVERELY overpaid while they hand off their responsibilities to others with no incentives or pay increase. Pointless meetings about growth and expansion, but rather look outside and not promote within. This place lacks diversity, and it’s a revolving door. Everyone is unhappy here, but HR doesn’t care to address the moral and Management can car less. As long as the product sells they don’t care about the employees.
