Vantaggi

My colleagues are very amiable, and the projects we work on are really interesting. The work-life balance has been fair. In some roles, you can learn a lot.

Svantaggi

It really seems like everyone is leaving lately, one way or another. Lots of staff were laid off in the spring without warning right before New Jersey passed a new labor law. Some of these people had just started working here even. Since then, it seems like work has been getting worse in new ways, so a lot of people are finding new jobs. The hardest part for a lot of folks lately seems to be the uncertainty about if our jobs will even be here next year because there is an ongoing restructuring, so everyone is worried that they won't be needed after everything is said and done. They are selling off office space while simultaneously requiring staff to return to the office. I had a terrible office to begin with, and now I've been given a space that is even worse. They haven't decided what I'll be doing yet after the restructuring is complete, yet it's being mandated that whatever it is, it will have to be from the office three days per week. They are still letting some people work remotely and have announced that they will hire new people into remote positions, but there is no security in these positions because they only offer an "alternative work agreement" that can be revoked at any time. The other reviewer had it right--the executive management loves to harp on about how they follow such high ideals, but they employ several tactics to exploit labor.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
