Pros
Good opportunities to learn, as company tends to hires less experienced & qualified people Excellent culture in terms of DEI Some departments can promote good work-life balance & QOL
Kontras
--Despite many years of good performance from remote employees, company has shut down offices and forced workers to chose between job loss or uprooting family and moving cross-country. --Deep cuts in 2022 of experienced and committed talent have led to pervasive QOS and QOL issues in 2023. --Focus on working together in a few physical locations makes little sense when workers and clients are already spread across country and around the globe. --Remote workers that remain are made to feel like second class workers no matter how good their work or how engaged they are. --Company priorities seem to be growth through real estate tax breaks and stock buybacks rather than good service to clients, savings on real estate with remote work, and good work environment for everyone.
