Pros

Good benefits (retirement, PTO, Holidays,etc). ​The frontline team members are incredibly resilient and supportive of one another despite the leadership challenges.

Cons

​Decimated Morale & Out-of-Touch Policies: A recent McKinsey takeover in senior leadership completely destroyed company morale, starting with a rigid, poorly managed Return-to-Office (RTO) mandate. ​Hidden Layoffs & Nepotism: Management practically laid off an entire internal departments under the guise of restructuring, only to immediately rebuild them using remote contractors and personal friends brought in from McKinsey. ​Complete Lack of Diversity: Senior leadership is a monoculture of white males who exclusively look out for their buddies. There is zero true commitment to diversity, equity, or inclusion at the top. ​Hostile Work Environment: Highly misaligned and poorly structured OKRs have actively pitted departments against each other, creating a deeply toxic and hostile cross-functional environment. ​Pay Inequity & Mistreatment: There are glaring issues regarding pay equity and the mistreatment of existing high performing employees. Clear discrepancies exist between how legacy internal talent is compensated and promoted, versus outside hires brought in through favoritism.
