Pros

No pro for this company

Cons

I have never worked for such a judging, harassing, and bullying, company ever in my life. STAY AWAY. Favorites are picked way in advance, even before you’re hired

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We are sorry that you feel like the work environment you are in is seemingly unhealthy for you. If you are feeling harassed and bullied, please reach out to me or your local HR business partner so we can explore this. We have a strong no tolerance policy and if this is happening it needs to be addressed.

Pros

Nice coworkers Flexible hours Free soft drinks Free Fruit On site workout facility

Cons

Since the company was sold, the founders of the company were ousted. The new CEO has changed the culture of the company. It no longer has the family feeling. Key sales members, middle management and operations team members are let go without any explanation. The company says it's growing but it RIF's good people.

Pros

- Your peers will be the best coworkers you've ever worked with; both professionally and personally I've made some of the greatest friends outside of work, which made the job itself sufferable - Flexing hours is not a big deal, and no one bats an eye if you need to leave early if you're feeling ill or need to take care of personal things. Really great work/life balance with options to work from home depending on your team. - Pretty decent vacation/sick policy - there are different pools of time for each you can draw from - The Internal Comms team does a great job of throwing events for the company - Exposure to working with people all over the globe - Great onsite Health Coach - he plans great events to hold you accountable to being healthy at work and at home as well as provides personal training/meal planning

Cons

- The tools are terrible. You have to use about 10 different tools to get one thing done. They were built in the 90s and stagnant effort has been made to upgrade them. There is always a new initiative going on with some fancy name to improve the tools; but after a year or so, that initiative is abandoned, people working on it are laid off, and a new initiative is formed. And if a tool does get off the ground, it's missing half of the components that would make it any ounce of useful. - Turnover is ridiculously high right now, and neither the HR or executive leadership teams appear to care that it's happening. Barely any replacement has been done, and the leftover workers are expected to take the workload of those that left with no pay increase or title change, even when the workers are far more junior taking on the work of more senior staffers. Morale is incredibly low across the company. - Management either doesn't have a clue what's going on or they are absolutely lazy, or a combination of both. Lack of direction is rampant. There are some serious trust issues between middle management and executive leadership causing confusion, frustration, and miscommunication throughout the team. Data "decisions" of executive leadership were often referred to as "voo doo magic" by middle management, but employees were still expected to carry out said decisions knowing they were also not the right direction.
