Pros

Wonderful people! The type of work is great. Remote work is awesome. Generous pay, Holidays and vacation/PTO days.

Cons

Executives, especially CEO, have created a work environment of distrust. Lack of vision and transparency. They spent money for rebranding and "swag" , as well as opening office in India to outsource work . They have had 7 layoffs since 2017. Currently offering every US employee with 2 or more years with the company a separation package, with layoffs in future. Called separation package an "opportunity". All this was done on prerecorded video to staff. By the way, Executives were not offered separation package...They couldn't even do it in all staff meeting or teams meeting. Twisted, but in same message cutting US jobs, CEO says he's grateful to us.

Pros

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Cons

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
