Pros

- Helpful and supportive colleagues - Easy to work with management (at least within my dept) - Support available for all types of individuals - Offers free training and learning courses for your respective field

Cons

- Promotion approved by leadership, but HR denied the pay increase - HR policies seem to override management’s input and support - Unclear career progression despite strong performance - Significant additional responsibilities without fair compensation - Sexism and frequent talk of politics (US Politics) in the office (we have to go in 4 days soon so I'm not looking forward to being around more of that) - Unclear direction from different teams (some employees don't seem to know how to do their jobs - creates confusion and slows down everyone else. I shouldn't have to tell someone from a different team how to do his/her job, their manager should)

Pros

Great company with supportive and talented people, an excellent work/life balance, and a positive culture. I truly enjoyed my time there and will miss it, I really loved working at this company.

Cons

Some processes and team structures could benefit from further modernization, particularly in expanding Agile adoption compared to leading IT organizations.

Pros

Cafeteria food is decent and the building is nice

Cons

This place has really gone in the gutter over the years, hard to see how it will turn around. If you’re thinking about joining, the industry is Good but I’d stay far far away from GAF
