Pros

Incredibly diverse employee population Unlimited PTO

Cons

It’s very evident the board and c-suite have a case of amnesia. Despite being consistently brought issues and shared concerns, there is never any acknowledgment and certainly never any action taken. It’s all an act of performance and silence. There is an increasing culture of hostility and degradation. A lack of accountability encourages this culture. The current CEO has only increased the diminishing of the culture. Doug Tuthill is no longer CEO, so the rating is reflective not of him but of the current sitting CEO.

Pros

Some great people, Great mission

Cons

The CEO has created such a toxic environment that people get up every day scared for their jobs. She wants to make each and every decision herself. She talks all the time, continually telling you the same thing, takes all credit for herself and hardly lets you speak. She will agree to something one minute and forget it or change her mind the next. Most employees are hired as contractors so that she can fire them as a minute’s notice without raising any employment issues. The most toxic place I have ever worked.
