Vantaggi
If you’re really desperate you can probably hang on for a year here. Keep your resume warm. It’s remote.
Svantaggi
If you have a stable job, you need to avoid this place. You are putting your career in jeopardy. When you first come on board, Ron will tell you “This is a stable company,” and “We want people here for their whole careers.” You’ll believe it, even when they throw around words like “startup” and “change of direction” in the same breath. Yes, this stable company that’s been around for 25 years is actually a startup. Surprise! Every six months, the company will announce a “change of direction,” without actually telling you what that new direction actually is. You can be sure, however, that it means people are getting laid off. Sometimes you’ll be told who, sometimes you won’t. You’ll try to get in touch with someone you were working with, and they’re just gone. And then it will be your turn. “We’re going in a new direction.” What direction? Who knows. Your manager might not even know why you’re being let go. But you’re gone, wondering how you ever could have been so stupid to put your career and livelihood in Ron DiGiamo’s hands. Management is made up of megalomaniacs who want to play at being big-company executives. To them, it means shuffling people around at random and berating employees nonstop. They’ve created a toxic environment that filters down to everyone not in the inner circle. Anyone who hasn’t already left is miserable and apathetic. Once in a while management will try to make some token effort, like sending around an employee survey. That will soon be forgotten because they know nobody will call them on it. You cannot trust a single word management says. And if you do manage to hang on, your reward will be a 3% raise. Enjoy.
