Good company to work for, but underneath the shiny exterior is a rotten one

Pros

Good benefits, the ability to work from home at any time. The company is a major global workforce, and a majority of teams consist of members that live in different states in the US. The cafeteria serves decent food, drinks are free, and the health gym is excellent for blowing off steam.

Cons

Low pay. If you get hired initially, negotiate a higher starting salary. A majority of people never get pay raises for two or even three years, which is shameful for a company this size.

They do have the money, and they do have the process, so I am not sure why they keep insisting on keeping their employees down.

Career opportunities are mediocre. You are able to move internally to any group, but promotions are hard to come by.

Advice to Management

Please re-evaluate your HR policies and attempt to promote qualified individuals. At the same time, keep your pay scale and structure in line with current market rates.
