Minpunten
Pay is low compared to other IT companies Only some departments can work from home, and if you can - it’s only hybrid Lots of micromanaging of salaried employee time - in IT, 85% of time had to be tracked and performance was evaluated biweekly with time tracking being a factor. Weekly one on ones, daily team huddles, and training sessions were not included in time tracking. Any time missed during work must be made up or taken out of PTO even if it’s an hour or less. Missing deadlines is a grave sin and you will be told multiple times that this is not acceptable, regardless of what the circumstances or impact are. We were asked to set deadlines at the outset of a project and got pushback when we wanted to adjust deadlines after proper research was done on the work to complete the project. Executives can circumvent processes and approvals at their leisure, even at the expense of time already spent by people below them working on a project. I had spent months working on a project with a team and with full transparency to the necessary parties, only to have executives jump in and change the entire direction of the project and expect it to hit the same timeline despite the additional work this added. If you’re a developer, you will be salaried and how long you work on any given week is at the mercy of an executive that may decide a delayed project must get done immediately for no reason other than hitting a deadline. I saw it done many times when the payoff of the work was extremely minimal as opposed to the decline in morale that would happen every time a team was forced to put in long hours. Despite feeling overworked and burnt out, you will be told that this is the best place to work and that the culture is the best of any workplace ever.
