Pros
Great benefits, great properties, lots of potential
Cons
Executives are all buddies from previous roles and hire people based solely on friendship rather than qualifications. Titles are heavily inflated to make sure their friends are paid well even though some will openly spend their days shopping online for personal items. Manager levels and below get all of the work dumped on them and the most talented/ hardest working get buried until they burn out and leave. Upper levels are great presenters and can sell snow to Eskimos, but are otherwise useless and running the business into the ground. They'll build strategies around things that are already in development and/ or already complete so they can take credit for other people's work. Promotions are reserved for those who cry the loudest and not for those who are the most qualified. Men are praised regardless of the quality of their work (even if it has to be completely redone by other team members) while women are blatantly told they should rethink their career path because their work is so bad it can't be used even though it's presented later as their own work without any edits and is well received by others. HR and executives will turn a blind eye to sexual harassment until it's convenient to sneak the offender in with a mass layoff, even if it means losing multiple talented workers in the meantime IF they do anything at all. Executives will restructure entire departments to benefit their friends even if it means wasting company time and money such as creating an entirely new group that mainly consists of roles that are completely unnecessary to the organization. Executives will also turn a blind eye to regular corporate card and expense abuse if it's someone they like doing the purchasing and sometimes even demand business partnerships with external companies, again, based on personal relationships even though the deal doesn't make sense for the organization. Some departments can be completely dissolved to save hundreds of thousands of dollars and that budget shifted into resources that the other departments could utilize and grow the business with. Other departments can be reduced somewhat if executives stopped making their teams work on projects that always go nowhere (not occasionally fall through, but literally every single one gets killed). Lastly, departments should have clear boundaries that are respected. Just because another department wants to be involved because a project seems fun or high visibility does not mean that they should be allowed to insert themselves and derail the project so they can say they were involved. When creating a "diversity and inclusion" team, don't have a middle aged white man head it up if he just plans to pat himself on the back for whitewashing content by removing anything that refers to other cultures without consulting anyone of that demographic to see if it's even considered offensive. Overall, very toxic work environment unless you have an in with the execs.
