Pros

Worked with a lot of good people. Were good about cross-training in many cases, lots of people have moved to new job categories.

Cons

C-suite seems bent on cost cutting, things have gotten tighter and tighter the last several years. Tariffs in the Autos probably not helping since majority of business is automotive.

Pros

Remote job that pays market rate salaries and offers decent health benefits.

Cons

It feels like the executives at this company are sitting in first class in an airplane behind a giant metal door instead of a curtain, completely sealed off from the rest of the organization that is all sitting in coach. We are told to stay seated, stay comfortable, and be grateful, cramped seats, stale peanuts and all. Every so often, a voice comes over the intercom with an announcement, and you have no choice but to accept it. Sometimes that announcement is that your colleague has been fired, so they can clear some salary cap for another former Sterling employee, and you'll need to increase your work load. This executive change honestly feels like a cash grab for the executive team and their friends and does not feel like the transformation the company desperately needed. Every executive working here is a nepobaby. They only hire people and vendors who have previously worked with the CEO and the COO at other companies, even if they are not the best candidates or companies to work with. They are also paying them obscene salaries. None of these folks have any experience in the industry that drives the company profits, automotive, nor have any interest in getting up to speed. J.D. Power used to be a place where speaking up was encouraged. Now, one wrong look at the wrong executive can cost you your job. They removed internal anonymous feedback because "it's not productive." But I am 1000% sure they are reading still reading these reviews.
