Incredible people overshadowed by a focus on executive perks and poor senior leadership

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay used to be good, but salaries have not been adjusted for most roles as the company has evolved over the last few years, so I guess its a "used to be a pro".

Cons

Out of touch executives, YoY increases in revenue while increases don't match inflation or cost of living, increased benefits costs, lack of career progression. Our CEO is not a culture fit, and belongs in venture capital, not the non-profit world. We pay for flights and attendance to balls and dinners so he can wine and dine with celebrities and CEO's, all while the rest of us have to force ourselves to be excited about the one extra pizza a month we can buy with our annual raise. Oh but wait, benefits are more expensive, so 99% of us are losing money every year.
