Pros

If you are smart and willing to take on new tasks, there is always something to do and learn.

Cons

Way too political. Some of the leaders (AVP+) are worthless and everyone knows it. Working or projects is a giant cluster f**k. Usually there are 15 people on a project and 5 know what to do while the other 10 just get in the way. Some departments are ran horribly. Way too many projects with no clear time table and resource planning.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
