Pros

Terrible middle management - who do not support employee growth.

Cons

Constant manager turnover, micromanagement, and complete disregard for company values in middle management. You're just a number in a massive machine and not treated like a person.

Lack of Accountability

Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits (best in corporate world) - Flexible (work arrangements from home and hours) - Interesting work (if in right role on right team)

Cons

- Little to no process to truly hold managers who engage in bully behavior accountable. - Lack of effective coordination among teams in same business units. - Perf review process (“Connect”) has become either a checkmark (do it for sake of doing it) towards a carrot or too easily used as a stick by managers who have created hostile working environments. These type of managers also often control the ability for targeted employees to change roles (by crafting a narrative of why other teams shouldn’t hire that team member).

Pros

Lovely building, great food choices, amazing solutions, good for CV/personal brand

Cons

Culture not what it claims to be - certain management and directors following their own path. No pay increases for consistent over performance Definitely not a Pay for Performance Culture Ok place to work if you can take the poor leadership and not being compensated fairly for the job you do
