Pros

The job I have is great: interesting and challenging. I work on a great overall team and manage a great small team. I like what I do.

Cons

The HR (People &Culture) team is the biggest challenge in this company. Bureaucratic. Dumb policies, of which the DUMBEST is that you cannot hire remote people without an act of god. It was FINE during the pandemic because it suited them, of course. It doesn't matter to them if someone is the best person for the job; it is more important that they sit in an office. ...why? No one can explain it to me. We. are. a. GLOBAL. company. We work remotely from each other EVERY DAY. And btw, people on my team who work remote who already feel disrespected by this. Like they are now a second class citizen because of this policy. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Pros

Excellent company. Clear winner in the sector. Treats its people well even as it manages through business cycles and need to be leaner in some areas. Committed to maintaining industry leadership through heavy investment in best content / products.

Cons

Nothing major. Could move faster at times, but making progress there.
