Pros

Supportive and hardworking colleagues who are doing their best despite the challenges

Cons

- Toxic work culture - High employee turnover - Perceived favoritism and bias As an A player and high performing employee, I would not recommend joining this company based on my experience. Management has encouraged employees to leave positive Glassdoor reviews in response to the company's low rating. Personally i believe employee reviews should be authentic and reflect genuine experiences rather than being influenced by leadership. The work environment is highly toxic and employee concerns are often dismissed instead of being addressed. There appears to be a disconnect between leadership's perception of workplace issues and the reality experienced by many employees. One unusual aspect of the organization is that there are two CFOs. In my experience, there has been a lack of clarity regarding responsibilities and decision-making within the finance leadership team. At times, one of the CFOs appeared to rely heavily on managers and team leads to respond to finance related questions from senior management. The finance department has experienced significant turnover with many employees leaving due to concerns about leadership, perceived favoritism and management practices. The turnover has been substantial enough that the company has reportedly rehired former MSS employees to fill gaps created by employee departures and staffing shortages.
