Pros

The benefits are decent, and the people I managed were a good team.

Cons

Toxic Management from the tops down, and lacked process documentation + automation. The hours were long and people judged on how well they got along with the VP versus your actual work performance.

Apologies for the experience you had - this is definitely not in line with the environment that we strive to create and offer our employees. We encourage all employees to leverage the many internal channels for providing feedback or to reach out to your HR Business Partner so you can share your perspective.
