Pros

-- I love my team members -- Free snacks, 321 Coffee -- The woman at the reception office is amazing, friendly, and greets every contractor and employee by name like they are Norm from Cheers... she truly makes you feel special even though you are just 1 of several hundred people in the building.

Cons

-- open office space with no assigned desks so you have to schlep 20 pounds of stuff every day -- 30 out of 90 days "hybrid" schedule sounds flexible until you realize that after deducting weekends, holidays, PTO, etc, it is more like 3-4 days / week in office. -- they actively count your badge swipes and send out public progress reports to count how many days you have come into the office and name and shame who is not coming into the office enough -- increasingly relying on contractors instead of FTEs and contractors are excluded from a lot of meetings and given no feedback -- everyone is living in fear of the next round of layoffs -- agile teams are very competitive and territorial and pitted against each other -- expectation to show up in the office but you're still always on a TEAMS call which defeats the purpose of in-person "collaboration" -- turf wars and politics and hoarding of knowledge by some people. -- unlimited PTO but only if you have enough badge swipes to get your quota of in-office days in.

Pros

Some of the peers met.

Cons

You have to be a "yes" person. It is not about your productivity or tenure. The organization celebrates the money-makers. They romanticize a false sense of community. They celebrate the coffee shop with a zombie like fixation. It doesn't detract from the underlying problems of management being out of touch with employees. Their inability to read the room has been present for a while. They failed to see during Covid that it takes more than food, drink and "community" when the fact of the matter was that it only showed lack of trust in their employees. Team meetings consist of a manager who is incapable of reigning in meetings that devolve into nonsense and wasted time. Obvious bias exists as there are clear favorites on the team, and their ideas are more readily accepted and heard. Comments as to appearance lead to obvious preference and isolation of other team members. Now that DEI is thing of the past and everyone is trying to navigate it smoothly, Relias proceeds to post the whitest President’s Club photo ever. It’s completely tone-deaf. They continue to make decisions that may seem to make sense at the top but have no relevance or need when it comes to employees.
