Great downfall of a once great company

Pros

Flex time off is great

Cons

- Bonuses and raises have been scaled way back. - What was once an open book approach to running a company now is a closed door affair which leaves you wondering what is really happening. -Company doesn't invest in employees. Will let top talent and long time invested employees just walk out the door. -Pay is well below industry standards. Asking for a raise gets you answers like "Well start looking for another job" -Hard work and dedication often goes unnoticed - Lot of positions are filled by people that have no business in managing or working in their department.

Death throes of a dynasty

Pros

Corporate gym, above average (but declining) benefits. Likely an attractive acquisition target and the new owners may treat you better or at least offer a decent severance package.

Cons

Since the dismissal of the company founder BBCom has gone through multiple CEOs, each taking a different angle to right the clearly sinking ship. Many managers cannot be trusted and leadership is completely opaque. The only reliable thing from leadership is that they'll break nearly every promise made. Top-down communication is non-existent. Promised 360 reviews never materialized after an initial rollout, likely because the reviews of management were so negative and rather than facing reality they chose to ignore clear signs of incompetence and mismanagement. HR is in shambles. The company can't hire quality talent or even conduct a decent exit interview. Bro-culture still runs the show. Women need not apply unless you're slim, pretty and keep opinions to yourself.

Pros

Promotes healthy lifestyle, onsite gym, good benefits (for now),

Cons

Everything leadership, director or above. There are few good ones but more bad than good. Literally no management, training, or development. Company does not invest in its employees. office vibe is closed doors and information is on a need to know basis only. Management does not appreciate questioning as the direction is their way or there is the door. I could go on but have better things to do. Work here are your own risk.
