Pros
At first I thought working in a global enterprise company would be intimidating compared to smaller companies I worked at previously, but once I got here I realized it's just normal people and a reasonable work culture. Things feel like they're moving forward without too much bureaucracy. Most people seem to have enjoyed a long tenure here until recently.
Cons
Job cuts and voluntary severance is not uncommon. If a company isn't doing well, job cuts are necessary. However, on top of seeing majority of your peers quietly be let go earlier this year, new cuts are coming... 1. Mandatory back to work (3days), regardless how far you live from the office, no exceptions. If you don't like it, take severance package. This is demoralizing, especially since we've been forced to work with Europe/India daily, and all those calls happen in the mornings - somehow we're supposed to find an additional 1hr in the mornings to commute only to take calls in the office, while none of our teammates are in the same city. 2. No bonus, no promotion, no raise, no career advancement. No incentives whatsoever. I'm not making this up, it's common knowledge across all departments except for a select few that seem to have unlimited budgets. 3. Hiring, travel, and spending freeze. You're stuck with the resources you have, even if you're overwhelmed with work volume at times. 4. LGBTQ, DEI, and E8 commitment bs "culture" campaigns shoved down your throat regularly.
