Pros

Great worklife balance. Good health benefits.

Cons

Most people are not working hard and company is way too big for its revenue. The goal is to look good in-front of management and check boxes for promotions

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
