Pros

There was a PlayStation 4 in the break room.

Cons

The different departments didn't communicate, causing stress for the bottom-rung employees.

The compensation is misrepresented before you sign the offer letter. They claim that they pay out a large bonus, but the rules to qualify for even a basic bonus are extremely rigid. Get your compensation as salary-heavy in the beginning.

The parent company really mismanaged the acquisition of my company. Lots of broken promises as soon as the revenue forecast didn't increase as much as we had been directed to.

They cut salaries at the start of the pandemic.

They have a "cost of living raise" annually, but that raise is actually your performance raise and it can be withheld from an entire department.

The HR system is completely disjointed. There is no central portal, and many things are managed on entirely different websites.

I had to use two instances of ADP to fill out my timesheet every week.

Advice to Management

Look to improve your internal support before continuing to expand.
