          Business Outlook

          Pros

          The Executive Team at O.C. Tanner really cares about it's employees. Working at O.C. Tanner during the pandemic really solidified that for me. They were doing everything they could to make sure we were getting what we needed. I couldn't imagine working for a different company during that time. I do believe that they make business decisions with all employees in mind. Additional Pros for me are: -They have really great benefits like an onsite health center and onsite cafeteria -Flexibility and Work Life Balance -Good leadership in my department -Employee autonomy - The people are amazing

          Cons

          There is a lot of long tenure which is great but it also means things you aren't going to see openings for management positions incredibly often.

            O.C. Tanner does a great job of taking care of their employees. We have free lunch on Thursdays and Fridays every week, there are opportunities for growth, and management is easy to talk to when it comes to understanding what needs to happen for projects to get done.

            Cons

            Like most companies, there is office politics that sometimes get in the way of progress and innovation.

                      I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.

                      I was promised a decision made by mid last week. I followed up on Thursday last week and got a response the update is now followed up with the hiring manager and their director and expect hear back by middle of next week. What should I be expecting if it’s delayed on promised update timeline from the hiring manager interview?
