Fanatics

The benefits and pay are both good.

Management is horrendous. The work schedule sucks. I got shoehorned into a support role when hired as an engineer. HR was useless.

More than once, I would get assigned to a project, only to have the project canceled days later and then be put on another project to have the cycle repeat.

I expressed from the start that I wasn't interested in being on support. I don't like it, and I don't handle interruptions well. I got shoehorned into support anyway, even after expressing for months and months that I wasn't interested in doing it. Management's feedback didn't match their actual understanding of performance.

My manager, by his own admission, admitted he doesn't like confrontational conversations and tends to just "go with the flow" when put in that situation. His report frequently would countermand him, and I was expected to follow both.

Quite frequently, my manager would beat me to responding to an incoming support request by mere seconds, yet I was accused of being "not visible." This was even though I would respond to him and tell him I was also available.

They were incredibly unresponsive to messages I would send, yet expected me to be immediately available for any incoming messages. Massive double standards all around, and I ended up paying for it.

Hire managers who can actually manage, instead of managers that say things like, "I just want you to get it done," and give intangible goals without actually helping achieve those goals.

Managers should be leading from the front and should actually be receptive to their employees' concerns. Any time you messaged me, it felt like a whip crack, and then when I'd message back, there would be absolute silence.
