Pros

Some cruise benefits. Cool products being worked on.

Cons

Where to begin. Maybe being told that we shouldn't focus on "work-life balance" and instead focus on "work-life integration" should have been a warning flag. A second flag was being told to be available 24 hours a day. A third flag was leaving Church on Sunday to 5 missed calls from my Director about an "urgent project update".... on a Sunday....at 10AM. They will work you to the bone and then only promote the cis, straight, white men. Some white women too have clawed their way to the top, but not without intense mental damage done. They also don't believe in WFH. I went to the doctor for an urgent consultation and had to go back to the office right after I got out of the Dr appointment...at 5PM. Regularly in the office from 7AM-7PM.

Pros

Pay is competitive. You get a free cruise.

Cons

The culture here was ok, though not the best. Now with a VERY strict 9-5 policy, the entire company is feeling the grip of the execs. No exceptions for anyone who has a doctors appointment or needs to pick up a kid or adjust their hours slightly to get through life. Many employees have to work extra hours, travel across the world, and work based on other time zones due to projects spanning across the world. No matter, 9-5 or pack your things. Execs are demanding more control, they seem to forget that they placed their office all the way in the traffic zoo of the Port of Miami. No one is happy and now you can hardly get out of the port at a decent time. Would have loved to see some execs and vps fight against this but it seems they only care about protecting themselves, and Mr Liberty is having his way. I hope he enjoys this act of control as it is making his employees miserable. Expect high turn over soon or layoffs, or both. Many of the small benefits have been rolled back without any announcement (food discounts, commuter discounts) without any notice. We have lost the plot, we are selling vacations, not saving lives.
