Pros
I have been working at Principal Financial Group full-time for more than 3.5 years Pros 1. High amounts of free time - so much that u feel underutilised but its good if u wanna switch. Study and switch to companies with 2x salary and less toxicity 2. Health benefits. Leave policy. 3. Recroom.
Cons
Cons - 1. Recroom. I have seen people playing TT all day in rec-room and get hikes better than some people who work hard all day (includes me obviously) 2. Unfair treatment. They say they use market correction my foot. They pay differently even among teams and boast of being fair. I mean come on, isn't that funny. People who do not understand basic programming stuff get same hikes are people who do good just cuz of manager bias or cuz manager is of opposite sex. 3.They dont follow on their words - Managers are only for the sake of approving leave. Do nothing sit all day in single place and talk big words. Leadership just talks about big terms and do nothing on it. 4. Leadership does not care about a persons career growth. U wil be treated as a resource and not a human. So much that I am planing to switch back to the company I came from. I wish I never switched to Principal global for the same of higher package - my friends at my previous org make more than me and half of them have been onsite too.
