Pros
I have made friends here.
Benefits and remote work are still strong.
Cons
When I joined this company, I thought I would be here for many years, if not forever. In fact, during onboarding, HR mentioned they hoped that for new hires, this would be their last job.
However, it is a sinking ship. Recently, there has been a continual decline. Culture has been decimated. Leadership no longer cares about staff. The way people are treated and spoken to is completely wrong. It's quite frankly insulting. There are men in leadership positions who have complaints against them and yet remain in good standing and powerful positions despite their biases and actions.
Raises and cost of living adjustments have been halted, and promotions are extremely hard to get. Sometimes you get the monopoly money of equity that can vest, and maybe you can sell eventually. We're told to look elsewhere if we want more money while they pay contractors and new hires double the rates of current FTE.
Staff and even member feedback, which was once embraced, is now ignored at every turn in favor of AI innovation. What is the AI innovation? Even leadership doesn't know. They do not have a plan and are instead hoping this magic pill will fix everything while watching the people with the knowledge and technical skills to help go out the door. And if their AI experts think you can be replaced, they intend to do so. Leadership is focused on downsizing, and there is no job security.
I see no signs of this ship righting itself.
