Not a reliable place to work

Pros

Two bonuses annually, good PTO, free health insurance

Cons

The culture is religiously shoved down your throats and they remind you almost everyday how great they are to their employees. You may see good reviews here, but know that HR pushes all new employees to review the company on GlassDoor within their first week of working here. I was asked 4 times in my first 2 weeks…. The company is widely unorganized and has no accountability from mangers and higher ups. I was hired without any plan for my role. I didn’t get a job description until working there for 2.5 months. No training or anything— it was very underwhelming and boring. Rumors constantly circulating about upcoming lay offs which creates fear amongst staff. Unfortunately, most of these rumors are true. Multiple employees are fired without reason or feedback on their performance. Tons of turnover at this company and they love to do a lot of terminating right before the holidays. Cruel!! Additionally, their handbook encourages you to put in a two week notice . After putting in my two-week notice, I was terminated the next day WITHOUT pay. I found out after the fact, they always do this. As Sarah D. would say, “Your employment is ‘at will’”. So regardless if you are leaving by choice or working there still— have your resume ready to go at all times.

Pros

Information technology, software and resources.

Cons

Fake "all-in" culture concept, which only applies to very clique-ish upper management, people who have been there forever, or if you don't mind drinking the Kool-Aid. On some days I wasn't sure if it was going to be another kindergarten class or boot camp. No empowerment/recognition of employees who are introverted or under the radar. Direct supervisor engaged ONLY via long emails with instructions and updates, or a phone call when something was messed up. Work-life balance, diversity, and trust are almost non-existent. Unless you're planning to be an executive favorite, suggest looking elsewhere.

Pros

Nice office and convenient downtown location, "soft" perks like organized provided lunches, PTO is not prorated (you get it all right at the start of the year), nice co-workers

Cons

Just to start, the other thoroughly written negative reviews are spot on, more or less, so I won't belabor the points they've already covered though I would put more emphasis on the the social/office politics which really stuck in my craw. Work/life balance could be summed up as "we're not saying you need to work overtime but it's in the best interest of your continued employment that you do." If you want a sane 45-hour workweek, you can pull it off for a while here but it will not go unnoticed. It's done in the name of "growth" but have you ever met a company that said "we've grown enough?" The ESOP they like to cheer about? Hope you're in no rush to collect it. It's been a while since I read the details but to my memory, should you ever want to realize 100% of the shares they give you, you'd be looking at about a decade before you'd have it as cash in hand. Vesting starts....2 years in I think. Full vesture is after 6 years, and then they have 2-3 years after that to pay out your shares. Don't take it as a given that you'll see that money since who knows whether you'll stay there as long as *you* want to. Pay is on the low end for the industry, but at least they'll admit to it. They'll ask you to leave a glassdoor review before you've barely been there two months. I find that disingenuous. Glad I had the foresight to wait. While nice, the offices are open floorplan. Really has a panopticon feel to it; not a fan. Despite my misgivings, I really did generally like the people I worked around; you'll likely have the same experience. The catch is nice coworkers don't provide your paycheck or make the business decisions.
