Leader in Diversity and Inclusion but Lagging in Efficiency and Competitiveness

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is very focused on hiring diverse candidates and promoting inclusion among the workforce. The senior managers focus on work/life balance and addressing social issues. This is great and makes for a good work environment. The salaries are very competitive and the overall compensation package is very attractive.

Cons

There are a lot of inefficiencies, waste and complexity in the organization. The various business units operate in silos and the leaders are not always concerned with the health of the company overall, but are more concerned with their own division. It is very difficult for a new employee to learn to navigate the many layers of the business. Your support teams are very often located in different parts of the world and it makes it difficult to know who is responsible for what aspect of the business.

Great team, very international, but poor management at all levels.

Business Outlook

Pros

International environment, great team, flexible working hours

Cons

Worst management ever, bad communication, nobody really cares about improving or changing things, so if you have a lot of energy and motivation, it gets very frustrating after a while. I don't regret having worked there, but definitely, I should have left earlier. Salary can be quite low. I got a 40% bump for a pretty similar role in another company.
