Pros

- Some flexibility to create your own schedule if you’re in upper management (Director & up) but you will be required to work 40+ hours a week to succeed

Cons

- Limited mobility for internal roles if you’re not located near an office (leadership is making it clear they want people back in offices while publishing research to the contrary) - Slow to change and to adopt augmented resources for employees; they prefer to build vs. buy tech and it’s disastrous - Love to hire failed McKinsey suits that bring the 10x / continuous improvement mindset to a level that is pushing the workforce to burnout; expecting high attrition after March bonus payouts - Below market pay; it’s better to leave the org and be a boomerang employee than to be promoted internally - Leaders do not listen to nor trust their employees; they’ve lost the human side of people management, even more so in the “post-COVID” era - If an employee quits or leaves, most teams are not getting backfills and remaining members have to pick up the extra work

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
