I appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review for us. We value all feedback, so we can make changes to improve. It's great to hear that you worked with smart people and had some good projects while here. Yet, I'm disappointed that you had a less than average experience in other areas. You have brought a lot of information forward and I can assure you that we will be looking into the issues that you were seeing. If you feel comfortable doing so, I would welcome the chance to hear your feedback directly via email or over the phone. Please reach out to me – Becky S., SVP Human Resources

Pros

1. Good work life balance 2. Good exposure to latest technologies 3. Good pay package

Cons

1. No process or structure. So when you have issue with don't know whom to approach. In my view you cannot approach anyone 2. Too much political atmosphere 3. Some people are tagged great irrespective of their contribution/performance/intention. Therefore other people loose drive to work 4. To much favoritism. 5. Leadership is no trustworthy and really careless. They seem to just enjoy status and don't really care for work. 6. Leadership pretend to hear unbiassed reviews from employees. But they really track who are the critics. So if 20 % people not satisfied with something fire 50% of them so that leadership can show satisfaction % improvement next year to 90%.

Poor culture, higher-quality management needed

Pros

- moderately good pay and benefits (shuttle services, gym, generous health plans) - has all the system infrastructure and technology that a large organization can afford

Cons

middle and upper management are predominantly average facilitators at best, lack vision and ideas, or the ability to enable ideas - many have low level technical understanding and are unable to drive a clear goal. often resort to political maneuvering and favoritism to put up a front. - projects are confusing, lack transparency, and often politically-charged. frequent re-org. expect one every 6 months. Recent layoff saw both good and really bad choices. Bad choices tell us that the awful leaders are still around. a culture of talk your way up. eloquence is 90% of all the skills you need here. upper management mined for ideas, used employees, made scapegoats out of employees.
