Vantaggi

Decent benefits, good retirement contributions

Svantaggi

They have oh-so bought in to AI hype. They have abandoned their principles of sound validity research and best practices in favor of quick results by over-relying on generative AI, such as ChatGPT. More troubling is that virtually everyone who actually knew a great a deal about AI has left the organization, either voluntarily, or through layoffs. Leadership may claim that ETS is an "ai-enabled" organization, but this does not go much beyond "we use ChatGPT." No one on the leadership teams has any actual expertise in AI, and they often ignore the people who do. Therefore, my perspective is that ETS does not have what it needs in order to fulfill its goals, and I don't see their future as very bright at all. My advice to perspective candidates is look elsewhere.

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.
