Pros

No pros… this company will continue to be unsuccessful

Cons

Leadership Dominates employees.. does not invite feedback and tracks all employees- checking badges weekly and shaming people publicly who question this distrustful practice

We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t have a positive experience with us. We do ask that employees be on site at least 3 days a week because we strongly believe in the power of in-person collaboration and connection. We encourage current employees to speak up using the resources available, including their HR business partner.

Thank you for the positive review! So glad to hear you've been enjoying your experience with us. We also appreciate your feedback around collaboration, autonomy, and access to meetings. 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.
