Pros
Flexibility, good place for early career to gain experience or parents with young children who need flexibility in their schedule.
Cons
Lack of opportunities to move up the ladder unless you “play the game”. Lack of training for leaders. Arbitrary performance management & development program. The Bell Curve performance system forces leaders to pick a low performer regardless of actual performance. Additionally, Cross Calibrations require leaders to compare people doing vastly different roles simply because of a shared job code. Culture in the past 6 months has changed drastically for the worse, and it is so disappointing to see a company I have always been so proud to for shift their values so abruptly. To avoid the bad PR of layoffs, they are making leaders “manage out” associates with baseless performance claims. I’ve watched this happen to so many colleagues in the past year.
