Pros
Decent benefits. Reasonable working hours and policies.
Cons
The CEO is smug, snarky, tone deaf, and genuinely un-empathetic to employee concerns. Even when 800+ employees consistently provide shared feedback and concerns, he and the VPs are flippant and dismissive. The org follows the CEO’s lead, and egos drive success even more than the missions. Leaders are largely managing by command and control and several employees that I know personally have been let go or punished for questioning or disagreeing with their management. Policies change continuously and it is difficult to keep up. The CEO is adamantly against teleworking and hybrid work is considered less effective than being in office. Teleworking agreements originally had no expiration date. At some point over the last 2 years, the policy changed affecting all existing and all new teleworkers, which requires teleworking agreements to be reviewed annually; if the agreement is not renewed the employee has a year to figure out if they’re leaving or moving closer to campus in Bedford, MA or McLean, VA.
