Vantaggi
-Beautiful new office space in The Loop -Staff outings -Casual office dress code -Nice perks like a coffee bar and free lunches during staff meetings -Unlimited PTO -Young staff you would typically find in start up environments - opportunities to make friends
Svantaggi
-Low pay -Company wide layoff two weeks before Christmas destroyed office culture and morale -There are seemingly little opportunities of career path or growth since reorganizing the company into new buckets -The reorg seemed rushed, there has been little direction of the company outside of people who were kept on board falling back into old (bad) habits -Lack of training when being hired. New hires seem to be lost and frustrated -The company as a whole has a very defensive mindset; everyone is fearful of criticism and are constantly looking to place blame outside of themselves. This makes collaboration a challenge, and change reluctant/nonexistent -Asking for additional resources will be like pulling teeth -The tech is glitchy. Updates and bug fixes are slow. Adding additional features is slow. There are well known workarounds to perform job functions -Senior management are able to pitch "big picture" but have little understanding or knowledge on the day to day operations -At its core, this is a temporary staffing agency, not a technology platform
