Great benefits and culture, but growth is lacking.

Pros

Solid benefits, good overall working culture. Irvine campus has nice benefits including a discounted cafe (with pretty good food), free tennis lessons and a free indoor gym (recently upgraded). Lots of opportunities to attend one-off professional development seminars or webinars. Everyone is a professional, who does their best to contribute.

Cons

If you're part of the Digital Lab, growth is lacking, and outside of the Media Strategy and Investment team, every other team or role in the Digital Lab is confusing. No one honestly understands their role because the way they structured everything from the start made no sense. The restructure that happened this past year has honestly made everything more confusing. I haven't seen or heard about a proper promotion with anyone in the Lab for nearly 4 years. And politically, if your team isn't sitting on the right side, you're constantly wondering if your team is going to get cut. The only way up is out (either to a different team or out of the company).
