Pros

My role is fully remote

Cons

Ever since the change in CEO, it’s just been really downhill. There’s been a ton of changes for the sake of client retention, but it hasn’t been great for the employees you can tell a CFO is running the company. The company currently only cares about shareholder profit and is disguising layoffs as company reorg’s. Women and Bipoc leaders are getting pushed out of their roles and being replaced with the CEOs friends from previous companies. I am currently in a role that I wasn’t the role that I interviewed for and I feel stuck. The company also tries to say that your ‘total’ compensation is competitive, but the base pay is nowhere near competitive or worth the hassle/headache of working here. There’s also a huge cut back in DEI initiatives, which used to be a selling point of the company. The company doesn’t even use external vendors to assess employee satisfaction. They use an internal survey because of how bleak the employee opinion is currently.

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.
