Anyone else lose power from the storm?
If yes, are you using PTO?

Juneteenth is just around the corner. This is the first year I get the day off as a company holiday -- not sure if my company is having any programs or events. How about yours? And if not, are you doing anything on your own to recognize/celebrate this day?

For a data engineer with offer from epam, impetus and apisero, which would you prefer?

Apisero being 3lpa higher.

What's the work culture like? How is it like taking a leave? Or a 7 day vacation? Do they let you take it most of the times?

When your manager decides to take PTO right before the holidays / project deadlines and leaves you to do their work (which they didn’t do) as well as your own.

Ate so poorly on vacation im scared to weigh myself 😣

Question about PTO - my contract says 25 days but is this inclusive of any office shutdown over Christmas/New years (if there is one?). In Sydney office if that provides some context. Thanks!

Does everyone use up all of their vacation days or some of you have days that are never used and eventually wasted at EOY?

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

Just had a look at some start-ups that are hiring and a lot of them offer unlimited vacation days... think this is a good practice?

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

I found the following perks in Deloitte should also be considered at RISE

1. Office Phone reimbursement
2. Well-being allowance yearly 25k
3. Vacation allowance of 25k
4. Amount of Rewards and Recognition min 5k compared to current reward Rs.1500

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

I'll start - How much do benefits factor into your job search and deciding on an offer? For me, the vacation is critical, and it reflects the extent of the agency's culture of trust.

What are the best defense company vacation and healthcare policies?

Supervisor wants me to take on bigger projects. I'm all for it. Yet, the extra hours I'm putting in already (short staffed) are an issue. Advice?

I received an offer and asked about their parental leave. I don't plan on having kids anytime soon but would like to in 3-5 years and hope I can start a long-term career here. Was that a weird question to ask? The company initially responded that they are rewriting it so I didn't get much detail.

Anyone hiring a an Account Coordinator in NYC for consumer/lifestyle?

Does anyone know about Bevel PR? What have you heard? I am interviewing with them. Thank you.

Long time agency person, considering joining an in house crisis team at a global company. Wouldn’t be my first time doing crisis work but would be my first time doing exclusively crisis. Can any full-time crisis people give me the good, bad and the ugly of what this would make my life look like? What questions do I need to ask during hiring process to catch red flags? I already work long hours and do constant issues management but this role would pay way more and is in an industry I like.
