. There is a lot of office politics going on. If you aren't an extrovert and friendly with the right people then you won't go far.
. There is a reluctance to accept new ideas
. There is a lot of talk/meetings with not a lot actually happening.

Hi there, thanks for writing a review on your experience while working for us. It sounds like you found some really positives elements to your job, but also like you're not having the best experience yet and we regret hearing that. We'd like to recommend you talk to your line manager about what can be done to make your ideas heard. Thanks again for your review and for all the work you're doing for us.
Thank you for your review.
It’s gratifying to know that you have such a good time in our company.
We appreciate your contributions and wish you all the best.
The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.
Cons
Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
