Cons

Too many turnovers in HR

Cons

Limited space/open area/kitchen/desks, challenges with cross-departmental communication

Cons

CEO is arrogant and biased against woman. CFO thinks he knows everything about every other function in the business. Both have only ever worked at Priceline, so have no perspective on the world outside of Priceline. CTO is a bully, and the CEO is afraid to stand up to him and do the right thing. People are generally unhappy at all the recent changes, while sr. leaders ride the wave of an ever increasing stock price to line their pockets. HR is ineffective at being able to bring about change . . . really just able to admininister pay, benefits, and basic programs. So happy that I am no longer there.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. Upper Mgmt turnover is a major redflag

Cons

CTO has single handedly ruined the IT department which was full of extremely talented people. HR department has seen a lot of change at the top and all have been useless and are only there to support managers and don't care about employees who are being mistreated. There are bully's in management who treat employees with disrespect but because they can use performance as an excuse to let you go they get away with it.

Cons

no free food in Norwalk

Cons

Employe benefits, Don't follow proper documentations for any project for reference to young developers.

Cons

Everything else! I left a few months back, concerned about turnover and longevity. Long term employees, especially in IT, were leaving and not being replaced. I saw the writing on the wall. Looking online, it doesn't look like anything has changed.

Cons

Management oversight is killing morale. So many leadership changes in recent years crippled the culture and some senior staff that were brought in immediately asserted dominance rather than nurturing the talent they had. It went from a place that cared about employees to a totally results driven workplace, and in such a lean environment (which seemed like it kept getting leaner), burnout started to occur more frequently than it did in years past. Management decisions also, in many cases but not all, keeps the business a step behind it's competitors as well as the group companies. The lack of willingness to take risks is part of that. It's become a place that is obsessed with contributing to the stock price and growing it's bottom line rather than promoting innovation in it's tech, design, brand, etc. It's also a place that really favors bringing in new talent instead of promoting perfectly qualified and motivated employees to new positions. This has caused many pain points because of how lean the teams are and many times employees leave or are let go with so much knowledge of their systems or business that was never properly shared, and it is also a slap in the face to many employees that then see that they aren't getting recognition for their work and maybe aren't being valued.
