Vantaggi
- compensation and benefits is really good, typically higher than market. - staff sales roughly 2-3x a year - flex work arrangements (WFH and flex hours)
Svantaggi
- toxic culture. There is a clique mentality and you will likely not be or feel included in many instances be it for during or after work hour events. Management is also part of this clique. They are aware and enabling it. More often that not, those fresh grad hires / intern converts are preferred for many things. Sometimes you get treated as "less" since you had more experience coming into a role than a fresh grad. - Bias. Preference for ingrown talent (fresh grads/ converts) and also for those who are politically inclined. If you don't play politics you get iced out. - your career depends on who your manager is not you. No matter what they say about delivering results to get promotion, thats just one piece of the puzzle. Your manager needs to back you and give you the limelight show case your work to upper management. If you get a manager that cares more about them looking good, that they are able to manage the team and load well, good luck. They're unlikely to help develop you and your career (because why would they want a performer to go to other teams?). You need to drive career conversations, rub shoulders with those in power (aka politics) to get anything done. - Quiet cutting of people. They have been moving jobs overseas for a few years and with the recent 7,000 job cuts, they're super secretive about who gets cut. Handover is done under guise. - lack of guidance. they give you additional work or roles/hat/ responsibility whatever they call it. But little to no guidance. You need to go figure it out. Google is your best friend in this case.
