Great team, but growing micromanagement and low pay
Pros
Great people to work with Generous PTO Great software to work with
Cons
Compensation is below market, with minimal increases that don’t keep pace with expectations. There has been a noticeable rise in micromanagement, which has impacted team autonomy and morale. Additionally, much of the equipment is outdated and not well-suited for current needs. Workplace flexibility has decreased significantly. Previously, employees had a hybrid schedule (Monday and Friday remote, Tuesday through Thursday in-office) with some ability to request additional work from home days as needed. This has shifted to a much stricter policy, employees are now required to be in the office Tuesday through Thursday with very limited exceptions. Even partial days still require office presence, and only three additional remote days can be requested within a rolling 90day period. Beyond that, employees must use PTO. This change has reduced flexibility and made it harder to manage personal or unexpected needs. Benefits are another concern, insurance options are expensive and offer limited value. Despite strong company revenue growth, expectations have become more demanding, employees feel punished instead of rewarded, and often feeling less like motivation and more like pressure without corresponding support or reward. There is also a lack of clarity around performance expectations, both in terms of day-to-day responsibilities and what is required for promotion. This creates uncertainty and makes career progression feel inconsistent. Overall, there is a widespread sentiment across teams of feeling undervalued and underrecognized.
