Toxic environment- STAY AWAY

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Looks decent on a resume

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment and culture. They will work you until you're past your breaking point, with no reward or even a "thank you" in sight. Leadership in certain divisions have been in their positions for 15+ years, creating a hostile environment not open to new ideas. If you're not one of the "favorites", good luck, you'll never be promoted, and will be bullied until you're out the door. HR in this company is useless. They will always take the side of the higher level employee, no matter what the situation is, and reprimand the employee with the lower title. Stay far away from this place. The company is tanking anyway.

Pros

- Hybrid (remote 2 days a week and on-site three days ) - Nice benefits package - Discounts

Cons

- VERY disorganized, cheap company that will not hire more employees even when it’s necessary - strong disconnect with managers and senior managers - insane work load (you are given the responsibility of dealing with 1,800+ employees on your own) - terrible, unprofessional training (they take you into a conference room to be trained by a fellow co worker, no one in onboarding) - micro-management - high turn over - overtime is glorified - work load feels like a never ending cycle - you are told to ask questions and it may be ok to make mistakes until you actually and it becomes a problem - improper communication amongst co-workers / cliquey - Sr. managers make you feel incompetent and inadequate - Lack of determination of what true constructive criticism while explaining perception of low performance - Deliberately threatening to fire employees

Pros

Good benefits, 401K match, lots of the latest equipment and systems, never a dull moment, always busy doing projects. VERY talented, dedicated people to work with.

Cons

Open workplace counter productive and very often abused by commingled operational units that insist on loud activity. Sometimes you can't even think. No oversight of this inconsiderate behavior by managers. Apparently, it is condoned. It's not unusual to be redoing work twice or three times because of constant push to make deadlines with incomplete information to begin with. It's TV, and you need to work until the work is done, but with an unstructured after- hours contact schedule, you could be called anytime 24/7/365 - impossible to put work aside mentally. Leaving the country usually the only alternative. VP's/Directors openly believe in filling up your schedule - way over normal, or even extended workday norms for the job. Probably not enough Engineering/IT resources to cover work/project completion expectations. It's a "the more you work, the more valuable you are" atmosphere.
