Pros

I thought my salary was competitive. The benefits are pretty good and the work for my role can be done remotely . There are some great managers to learn and receive guidance from.

Cons

I worked for a smart, hands on, well connected leader in a tight knit team until a 2024 reorg left me with an interim manager who was the exact opposite. While there were plenty of internal candidates that were more than qualified, he decided to hire an external friend who was educated but inexperienced in EDI and people management. She avoids conflict is so hands off that she refuses to address issues until they spiraled out of control. Also allows project managers to bully and retaliate against consultants. She never speaks not even to praise her team during the all hands meetings as all other managers do and rarely appears on camera despite the on camera policy enforced by senior management. To make matters worse, they struggle to provide sufficient and timely training and has little to no internal documentation. The documentation that is available is often incorrect and/or incomplete and near impossible to locate. Way too many tools and no standardization of how they are used. Tons of redundancies in routine tasks. New methodologies and ways of working not tested before implementation resulting in process bottlenecks, roadblocks and project delays.

Pros

Free snacks, food, and beverages are consistently available. The company invests heavily in internal events, revenue kickoffs, and high-production celebrations. If you appreciate polished town halls, strong branding, and well-produced “rah-rah” moments, you’ll see plenty of them. There are also smart, capable people here – especially in operational and finance roles – who work extremely hard to keep things steady behind the scenes.

Cons

You know that scene in Titanic where Mr. Andrews calmly explains the math after the iceberg hits? At times, that’s what it feels like internally. Except instead of discussing the iceberg, we’re discussing “momentum” and “long-term positioning.” There’s a noticeable disconnect between messaging and measurable results. Leadership communicates confidence and “strong conviction,” but frequent strategic pivots and restructurings have left some teams unclear on priorities. When stock volatility affects morale, 401k’s, and equity compensation, employees understandably feel it – even if presentations remain upbeat. For those in accounting and finance the tension can feel amplified. You’re close enough to the numbers to understand the pressure yet still expected to project optimism. Cost controls tighten, headcount shifts, and priorities pivot – but the narrative rarely changes. Execution capacity doesn’t always match strategic ambition, and reorganizations have created fatigue across departments. Many teams are being asked to do more with less during a period of transition. Also worth noting: the company does not pay out unused PTO upon termination, so it’s important to understand the policy details. This isn’t about negativity – it’s about alignment. Employees can handle volatility. What erodes trust is when tone and reality don’t feel connected.
