Avantages
Unlimited PTO, technology stipend, employee rewards/points program with meaningful perks, strong coworkers, supportive culture in earlier years.
Inconvénients
Loss of people-first culture after consolidation, lack of transparency, weak management support, limited severance for long-term employees. I spent many years at this company, back when it truly had a people-first culture and a small-company, supportive environment. After a major consolidation, that culture changed significantly. The organization became much more corporate, with less transparency and less genuine concern for long-term employees. Despite being consistently reassured that I was valued and performing well, I was laid off without warning. In the weeks leading up to my departure, I was actively discussing career growth and development with my manager and was encouraged to pursue additional training and certification. We continued to have regular check-ins, which made the sudden layoff even more surprising. My scheduled one-on-one was abruptly replaced with a meeting that included HR, with no prior warning. The lack of transparency and preparation was deeply disappointing. The timing and the minimal severance package offered were especially disappointing given my tenure. There was very little flexibility or advocacy on my behalf. While I am grateful for the experience I gained earlier in my career, the way my departure was handled left me feeling undervalued after years of loyalty. Prospective employees should understand that the culture and stability here are very different than they once were.
