Pros

The people are great to work with, very young workforce

Cons

Outsourcing and layoffs are constant, big push for AI as a “sustainable” company. Promotion process is long and time consuming yet still is controlled by favoritism. Will make you take on 5 projects at once for visibility with 0 reward. Painfully small raises.

A Leadership Structure Built on Favoritism and Detachment

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some employees maintain professionalism despite the environment.

Cons

The organization operates on a closed-loop system of favoritism that begins at the highest level. Advancement appears concentrated among individuals with long-standing "personal ties" to executives, creating a clear hierarchy of insiders vs. everyone else. For years, employees have openly noted that individuals with close personal "relationships" to the CEO advanced rapidly into senior roles. Whether leadership disputes this or not, it has become a defining perception within the company and it shapes how employees interpret every promotion decision.
