Chegg

Good pay and a great set of benefits, including lunches and a fully stocked kitchen.

A very tolerant and supportive organization for employees beginning their professional careers. There's so much to learn if you are starting your career, and the internship program is amazing.

Good work-life balance, if you are in the right team and location.

The company has a real mission and a vision, and most employees genuinely believe in it.

Multicultural acknowledgment and celebrations.

Mass promotions in the last few years to retain talent.

Lots of events, employee programs, and training.

Pretty good employee support, including health, mental, immigration, family, PTO, and equipment.

Most employees think there is no job security and look outside directly or indirectly. Everyone works in fear as the business is struggling against the world of AI.

Stock price is pretty much at an all-time low. Stagnant business growth.

Middle management has little to no decision power. A few high-level folks decide the line-up. A very tiny percentage of employees have most of the power. Disconnect among higher-up management.

If you don't like office politics, it is not the place for you.

It has become a rat race recently. The business and execution focus is shifting frequently.

Favoritism at multiple levels.

High turnover rate in the last few years.

Most veteran employees with domain knowledge in various areas have already left in the last few years.

Very frequent reorgs. You are likely to get a new manager frequently.

Employee survey pain points are talked about but rarely addressed.

Work division is unorganized. Some teams are burning out and others have no work.

A lot of groups treat their employees as "resources" not humans or team members.

Heavy outsourcing. Expect to work with multiple timezones and countries regularly.

It is a seasonal business so expect a very hectic few months twice a year.

The company believes in acquisitions and adoption rather than building in-house organic products.

The HR team is not your friend (as in other companies).
