Pros

Reasonable compensation. Some coworkers are genuinely good people but they can only do so much given the top-down culture and constant micromanagement by the Chief Strategy Officer.

Cons

The Chief Strategy Officer. I have never seen a senior leader manage a team with such a myopic focus on inflating their own personal status within an organization. Excessive meetings every week where the CSO makes the entire team listen to each project team update him on every single project. Lack of meaningful, impactful projects (most projects are either administratively managing the annual planning process or spending months creating slides with no actual impact on business direction). Everyone that does manage to find success within the team quickly moves to roles as far from the Chief Strategy Officer's influence as possible. Preferences shown by the CSO for team members in India or from India.

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.
