Pros

A Paycheck and remote work that is about it

Cons

Terrible place to work. The bonus structure is unclear and largely left to management’s discretion. You can fill all assigned requisitions and still miss your bonus based on subjective criteria or additional checkboxes that aren’t consistently communicated. Leadership resists innovation, and there is pressure to hire unqualified candidates simply to meet quotas, often framed as “job security.” Attempts to improve processes or introduce new ideas are met with pushback, and employees may be labeled as “not a fit” for speaking up.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
