Pros
Freeman has an amazing culture that has been built and sustained for decades. The people here are passionate, collaborative, and truly care about one another. Work-life balance is excellent, and the company has long been a place where employees can thrive both professionally and personally.
Cons
Over the past three years, IT has seen a revolving door of senior leaders. Each new CIO/CTO has pushed for big changes, and while those changes required tremendous effort from the team, the culture itself remained intact. Unfortunately, under the current CIO, things feel very different. Decisions and actions appear to be eroding the very fabric of Freeman’s culture. Fear has become the new normal in IT — whether you’re a leader or an individual contributor, job security feels uncertain. If the job market were stronger, I believe we’d see a significant exodus from the department.
