Great Company with Strong Culture, but Room for Growth in Flexibility, Compensation, and Workplace Dynamics - Product Development A-dec Employee Review

While A-dec has many great qualities, there are a few areas that could use improvement. For example, the company previously allowed remote work for multiple years, but suddenly took that away, and it feels more like a push to see employees in the office rather than a focus on productivity. When remote work was allowed, productivity seemed to increase, so it’s frustrating that the option was removed, especially when the job can easily be done from home. Additionally, salaries could be evaluated more frequently to ensure they remain competitive, not just starting salaries but the entire range. Longtime employees often don’t see the necessary increases or adjustments due to being at the “midpoint,” but their growing experience and value should be recognized more. Lastly, some parts of the company can feel a bit like high school with rumors circulating and cliques forming, which can hinder career growth and make it difficult for people to feel fully supported and included.
