Pros
Subsidized gym, cafeteria, on the subway
Cons
Loyalty and hard work are rarely reciprocated. At the end of the day, you are a number, a headcount, a salary and loyalty and engagement don't stand a chance. Politics and passive aggressive behavior are normal and accepted MO. Constructive discussions, performance management and coaching are nonexistent. Rather, the executives are busy swapping favors and spend time painting the façade of best employer and most admired culture. The executives need to turn in their badges, starting with the leadership in the HR department where lack of principled conduct, independent thinking, controlling and bully culture have promoted two groups of people - the extremely unhappy ones who turn over (voluntarily or not) and the deadbeat “yes, ma’am” drones who will do anything to get in the good books. If marketing and client services are the brain of the business, HR should be the heart of the organization. Well, this heart stopped beating a long time ago.
