Pros

Good hleathcare and 401k Plan. Really like working with my manager and team lead.

Cons

Genesys does not seem to want to properly compensate it's employees. I know how much my department is bringing in, in profit, for the company and Genesys does not share the wealth. Raises are only 3% (aka only keeping up with inflation) and they foster bad competition among peers by making so that if your fellow team member is getting 4% raise you will only get 2%. It gets to a point that you are paying them to work for them. The sad part of all of this is, is that it is super easy for them (management) to properly compensate thier most valuable asset. 1% of the profit generated from the department I work in would more than suffice to give everyone a proper raise. Please note that this is "Profit" meaning that normal expenses including the current payroll is already accounted for before profit is tallied. We bring in millions and a few 100 thousand is all that is needed to give raises to all employees. They just don't want to give us (their workers) proper compensation.

Genesys Response

As the leader for all global compensation programs, I can assure you that at Genesys we do everything we can to create compensation programs that are both fair and competitive. We budget for salary increases by country based on the market trends for salary increases in each respective country, and we encourage managers to consider a number of factors in awarding compensation increases, including individual performance and the individual’s compensation relative to the external market. While we do provide budgetary guidance to managers, we make specific efforts to be flexible on budgets so that managers can consider awarding the compensation increases that they believe are the most fair for their teams. We do this because we feel strongly that compensation needs to be competitive in order to recognize our extraordinary talent. If you have concerns about your own compensation or our compensation philosophy, I encourage you to set up some time to do so with your manager, your HR partner, or me. Best, Rob (Robert Coleman, VP, Compensation, Benefits & HRIS)
