Good benefits, but too bureaucratic

Really good benefit package. And a lot of good colleagues.

Company is way too bureaucratic. It takes forever to get a decision made. Things get bogged down.

Not the same experience for Operations & Technology

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with helpful people across departments, making many contacts

Cons

Expectation of daily overtime, disregard of family life, ambiguity from upper management, constant turnover, shallow training, conflicting expectations, disregard for headcount/ project ratio. Many teammates and leaders were let go without any meaningful consultation from management. Teams work without a proper management hierarchy for several months on end, leading managers to act as directors and directors to have to act as managers, which ultimately leaves entry level employees without a fair direction.

A Company too big to care about the "little people"

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The people that I worked with were amazing, and took care of each-other, and were the hardest working people I have ever met. There were a lot of events that you could be involved in.

Cons

The upper management at this company only cares about money and the bottom line, they do not care about the employees that are making the money for the company. HR does not support the employees they are only there to cover for management. I have never felt so under valued by an employer.
