Pros

Excellent work culture, great benefits, competitive salaries, lots of company activities, bagels on Monday mornings and free lunch on Wednesdays.

Cons

If you're on a diet, this place makes it difficult. There is food everywhere, freezer is stocked with hot pockets and burritos. Refrigerator is filled orange juice, milk and string cheese. Leftovers from catered lunches temp you at every turn.

Creating an environment where individuals feel connected to the work and broader context is important to us. At the same time, participation in certain forums can vary depending on role scope and responsibilities. We encourage ongoing dialogue with your manager to identify opportunities to increase visibility, involvement, and impact in ways that align with your role. Your feedback is helpful as we continue to evolve how we support engagement across the organization.
