Stacked Ranking - that’s all you need to know
Pros
The benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, 401k match, life insurance options, stock purchase options, EAP, while stupid expensive, are really fantastic if you use it often (chronic illness, kids braces, etc)
Cons
The performance management song and dance happening twice a year is a nightmare for both individual contributors and mid level managers. You’re told that the rating you give your directs is your decision (even after sr. mgmt tells you exactly who you will be giving the below strong ratings to) Does that sound like you have a choice? It’s up to you to roll the dice and find out. I’ll save you some time, if you fight for your direct’s rating with a differing opinion from sr levels, the choice is taken and made for you, all while plans are set in motion to manage you out. So, if you’re comfortable letting your direct line mgmt think for you in turn you behave as if you’re their puppet, all while taking on the accountability of their decisions from levels both above and below…this will be the perfect place for you.
