Pros
Good benefits Yearly profit sharing bonus
Cons
Took a job with remote option and less than a year later the company roles out draconian policy around RTO for three days a week. The approach to RTO was more upsetting than the actual going to the office. Employees expressed concerns about being misled, including during the hiring process, not being told that remote work was only temporary - people were hired who are not within commuting distance. Parents expressed concerns about not being able to enroll their kids in daycare with only 60 days notice. No one was notified that we would need commuter benefits this year, we lost our parking discounts, and parking downtown is 30 plus dollars a day. Crime in Philadelphia is at a level that bodes concern taking public transit or walking around areas by the office. Leadership does not seem to care at all for the concerns of employees and the hardships that they are creating. In addition to giving people minimal time to adapt they are not providing anything to help ease the transition or respecting previously collected feedback of their employees about the preferred schedule. Additionally there is a distasteful tone that employees should be grateful for the flexibility they still have even though the current policies are more restrictive than the ones in place prior to the pandemic. After multiple years of working remotely where the company performance flourished the message coming from leadership is that employees can't be trusted and remote work doesn't count, to the point that people who miss an in-office day are required to make it up on one of their normal virtual days, and employees are being discouraged from working remotely when not feeling well enough to be in the office in person with PTO preferred. These changes reflect a disconnect between company culture and current leadership and are indicative of a decline in the inclusive, equitable, diverse culture that takes care of it's people.
