Pros

Stable employment. Fully embraced remote work for years before covid. Pretty good culture, if you can find it.

Cons

Organizational chaos is enshrined. Re-orgs happen on a 6-8 month cadence. The business dismisses concerns, claiming these are a good thing indicative of growth. In reality it creates these problems: - Constant confusion over areas of responsibility. - Constant carousel of different leaders. - Career growth is nearly impossible unless you find out about a new team and fight to get on it, exacerbated by the above - people who manage to have the same manager for 18 months get promoted. People who don't, get left behind. Your 1 year plan for growth evaporates when your manager changes, leaves, or your responsibilities are moved to another team. - No value placed in teamwork - constant reorgs mean you should always be focusing on what work benefits you and your personal goals, since you cannot trust your team will exist in the same form tomorrow. - Leaders don't know or care about individual experience or skillsets, and shuffle responsibilities around to further political goals - prioritizing these over operational goals and outcomes. - Inconsistent opportunities for role changes - Some days, internal opportunities are open to all with a full interview process. The next, roles open and close in a moment, going to someone who has already been pre-chosen.

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
