Pros

Free coffee, good manger, good colleagues

Cons

While the company claims to be principle-based, recent unilateral decisions suggest a shift toward short-sighted cost-cutting over operational efficiency. Removing mobile phones from customer-facing staff—who are expected to be available around the clock—is a prime example of 'saving' pennies while risking thousands in lost productivity and client trust. This 'cheap' approach is compounded by a leadership culture, particularly in the GP Center, that prioritizes managing up over building value. There is a visible trend of supervisors focusing on optics for Executive VPs rather than mastering the business or developing their teams. When you trade essential tools for temporary budget wins and prioritize ego over principles, you create a recipe for mediocrity.

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
