CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Brand, pay, benefits, philanthropy work

Cons

Micromanagement, constant backstabbing, no room for creativity, no place to speak up for POC and if you do, no one hears/acknowledges you; HR team doesn't practice what they preach to the rest of the company, POC are undermined and undervalued, skills are not utilized because you're already undermined, favorites get to work on the better projects and receive better support/resources.

Business Outlook

Pros

funky building design is easy on the eyes. Free Food.

Cons

Expect to work yourself to death while looking at the skittles-colored terminal at 1AM on saturday morning with client on the phone. No one is working TOGETHER but just tries to keep up with their ticket queue. No work life balance or opportunity to move up. What you are hired to do will be the only thing you'll see there. Everything is compartmentalized.

Business Outlook

Pros

Perks, pantry, HR, other benefits

Cons

Bad management who just do not care about their employees at all. They promote "friends" instead of employees who are really doing the hard tasks. Same goes for pay increment. Career progression is bleak if you do not "hang out" with the managers. Many of the promotions are so questionable, outperforming employees gave up and leave the company instead.
