Lots of not-so-good changes

Pros

Great culture overall, direct manager that really seems to care about you and your well being and lots of learning opportunities

Cons

Executive leaership doesn't seem to care much about individual contributors: - Changed bonus formula from performance to individual billable hours. - Individual have 0 control about, being solely controlled by upper management that decides who will work on each project. - Working on internal projects and practice developments have zero impact on your bonus, as the executive leadership hardly allows managers to consider those on bonuses - Says that they care and hear feedback, but this policy is having constant feedback and pushback from employees, and the only change they made is to add 25% performance factor to the bonus formula. - Addvocate for transparency, but you can't see the kitchen. There has been no disclosure how the bonus formula changed for management and upper management, so it really feels like only individual contributors are taking the hit. - New bonus formula also disencourages employees from taking days off, even though the company has a "unlimited PTO" benefit. Diversity & inclusion are not on the priority list. 95% of directors and executives are white cisgender males. Lastly there has been over 5 changes on the C level board in the past 6 months, leading to uncertainty and insecurity.

Pros

The only pro was medical insurance.

Cons

Unfortunately I’ve never worked for a more stressful company. The entire company appears to be overworked as leadership says they care about their employees but it’s not truly seen through action. I quickly learned that they’ve promoted people and or hired people to positions that they aren’t qualified for/don’t have the understanding and wisdom of what it takes to be in leadership positions and this really shows as it trickles down into middle management. The stress from the job became so bad that I ended up having health issues due to the stress. I share this as a cautionary tale for anyone considering employment at 66. I wouldn’t do it, the price you’ll pay isn’t worth it no matter what the salary.

One of the worst company ,full of burocacy, multiple managers literally controlling the techies, cunning ,vicious , they over burn you by allocating into way too many projects for billing and force you get things done in a short time which requires more time..whoever working as a manager are pessimist.. never join this company at all ..
