Cons
- Raise/review are decided on before feedback is given. It is done on a curve, with 10% of the population forced into receiving no raise and lower bonus. HR will not confirm/deny this, of course. - Typically worked more than 40 hours a week, received no overtime pay or additional time off, even though they say flextime is one of their benefits. -No work/life benefits realized. It's offered on paper only. People in R&D work well over 60 hours a week for up to a 3% raise, if you're one of the lucky 10% in the top tier. Like I said, the raise thing is based on a curve. So, for an extra 3% in your pay, you have to put in an extra 10 hours a week, give up your vacation time, and hope that management likes you. -Management is incompetent, stays behind a desk, doesn't know the work people under him do (since it's a flatter organization), and doesn't listen to the advice of others. It takes years for a manager to be kicked out of management and put into a different role. (you'd figure they would fire him instead.) -People aren't valued, even though they list that as one the company values.
