Vantaggi
1. It’s not too hard to internally apply to other positions to get better pay and hopefully better work. 2. Easy to coast
Svantaggi
1. You have to stay 3 years to get your stocks vested. All or nothing which is really dumb. 2. Raises are awful. 2.5% was the standard this year, while 3% or higher is considered “good” 3. They reward new hires, not current employees. They give high raises, sign on bonus, and/or promos to poach new talent. However, they treat current employees poorly. 4. When you meet the number of years of experience to move up to the next level, you have to “prove” you are worth the promo. Really dumb considering point #3. My manager told me to get a competing offer to help make a case for a promo. 5. Tons of nepotism and non-technical managers. They laid off workers who actually did work and came in person in 2024 but kept managers who don’t actually work (I.e. scrum masters) 6. Too top heavy… more managers, directors and VPs compared to other contractors in my experience. managers who don’t manage… but with the manager pay band. I’ve never seen that until I started working here. 7. Annual raises are typically 900 to 1.5k usd unless you are nominated for a better one. In general, it is very rare for non management to get a better bonus
