Pros

Coworkers are very nice and capable. Mission driven, good benefits.

Cons

Generally lacks direction and too much short term focus. Management describes long term picture but you don't know how to get there or if you are even in the picture.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
