Pros

Pay is pretty decent, not spectacular but O.K. Most full time employees are great people. Really good 401k.

Cons

Leadership is a complete joke. The management is abysmal and have no clue about what's happening on the ground. Promotion now is based on inner circle politics. Managers who don't even have a degree leading highly skilled people who keep bailing out one after another. The worst HR and computer systems I've ever seen. HR doesn't answer the phone or return emails. Management doesn't return email. Things always falling through the cracks. Now that the old guard has been replaced with the new, the place is terrible. They talk a good talk but are more concerned with image and stock prices then anything else. Some folks are too valuable to move or promote so they just let them linger while promoting useless tools or incompetents for diversity sake.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
