Pros

Some people are excellent. However, this is a company that fired it's smartest teams to keep the PowerPoint makers.

Cons

This company has absolutely no strategy. The generative AI focus they have in marketing is one big lie. They do not have any. If you're a startup and they buy you, I'm sorry: they'll make sure you fail and fire your smartest people. The culture is siloed and toxic. People skills are hardly existent. Avoid unless you're desperate.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
