We’re excited to continue to introduce new opportunities for our employees to learn and grow, including our recently launched learning platform designed to make professional growth more accessible and engaging than ever before. We welcome your feedback as you explore this new tool and hopefully take one of the many in-person or virtual trainings hosted by our learning and enablement teams. Often we see our executive team through webinars and Town Hall meetings, which can make it difficult to know them on a deeper and more personal level. As announced recently we’re launching a connect program that will allow you to sign up to have a ‘coffee’ with an executive. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity and sign up.

Pros

Good culture Office is nice

Cons

Seemed a little reckless with Vegas trip midway through the year only to lay off a few hundred people a few months later.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on our company culture. We spare no effort in ensuring our working environment and culture are the best they can be. Our mid-year kickoff was an investment in our employees and was planned over a year in advance before market conditions shifted. We respond to market conditions in real-time as everyone else does, and make the best decisions possible given the information we have at the time. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed our employee benefits and perks. We offer unlimited PTO to all employees so they may best utilize and manage their work/life balance. We recently refreshed our health benefits to include more options to fit the diverse needs of our employees. We also provide coffee, tea, soft drinks, snacks, and lunch to all our employees at no cost to them. Thank you.
