Pros

Free fruit on Tuesdays and Free Drinks and decent location

Cons

New Management is creating "lean" environment without direction and hiring prior associates who should not be leading teams. Lack of leadership in Consumer team is destroying morale and frustration of poor results is high because there are no new solutions that have actual value to consumers. It is not a positive work environment - there are fingers being pointed and SVP encourages people to leave if unhappy and people are leaving in groves - hence the multiple job openings - it is not due to growth.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
