        Pros

        Good salary & benefits compared to other companies. People are generally friendly. The Akron area is a good place to raise a family.

        Cons

        The company is relatively flat so there's not a lot of opportunity for advancement. Workload is very heavy & work/life balance can be difficult. Have had lots of turnover in brand marketing over the past few years that is finally stabilizing.

                        Paperworks, specifically if it relates to HR and legal takes for ever to be processed If you're a fan of big cities, you'd not like living in Akron.

                      QC Specialist II

                      When someone says “We are eager to fill this position, we have no timeline but it should not drag out,” what are the chances I’m selected? This was at the third round interview, last Tue (5d ago) when I was told I should hear from HR next. The job was posted 30+ days ago. I applied for it on 10/22 and the interview process started 11/6 with an HR screening phone call.

                      Cloud Performance Engineering Lead

                      Workday interview tips needed. The role I am applying to is a site reliability engineer role. I am not sure what to expect. Of course it’s a technical role so I do expect those questions. I am wondering if they go extra hard and how many rounds? I read somewhere that they do 5 rounds. Either way any tips are@welcome.
