Poor IT leadership is causing mass exodus

Pros

The company is full of young energetic passionate people that will pretty much work 24/7 for the greater good. Employees love the company and the vision.

Cons

Unfortunately the IT department has had a complete leadership turnover in the last 18 months which is causing waves and waves of highly skilled (and severely underpaid) employees to leave. Dedicated employees who have been there for 10+ years are leaving because of the poor leadership. Morale is at an all time low and people cannot leave quick enough. As an employee who has been there many years this is very disheartening. What once was a family is now a dog eat dog, every man for himself department, where employees keep their heads down and are terrified of speaking up for fear of losing their job before they can quit. They would rather hire two rookies @ $50k each than one experienced employee at $100k. This is going to catch up to the company very quickly.

Pros

Cool company with great marketing. Huge growth and growth potential. "Coolness factor" high. Good resume' builder. Good benefits and sign-on if you aren't entry-level and have negotiating skills.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations of workload (70-80 hours per week salaried). "Get it done at all costs" culture. Lack of systems (managing $250M+ desk in excel, no visibility to on-order inventory, etc.). Leadership not experienced at leading people, just good at their positions they manage. No processes or people who can develop processes. Lack of team integration (teams are very silo'd). Company still acts like a startup when they are a $3Bn company. Basically, it's like sausage: you like how it tastes, but don't want to see how it's made.

Pros

You can get experience with a multi national organization. It’s probably not worth it though.

Cons

This was, without a doubt, the worst place I ever worked. I was lead to believe that everyone had a voice, that your feedback mattered and that you could change things if you cared enough. Nothing could be further from the truth. All anyone cares about is staying in power, advancing their own careers and keep you small and underpaid. If you’re not interested in keeping it that way, you’re done for. Oh, and don’t rock the boat, they will try to cold shoulder fire you... it gets really awkward when they realize you’re not going to leave because they’re too cheap to shell out any severance and they don’t want to take the risk to fire anyone ever. It’s basically every single toxic workplace stereotype you could ever hope for. Get used to worshiping at the altar of Kevin plank, if you don’t, you’re done for.
