Pros

Decent compensation and benefits package overall.

Cons

The current head of the legal/compliance/government affairs department is all about cultivating his image/perception and “the story he wants to tell the rest of the company about the department”. He makes a big production of showing how he values diversity and inclusion by attending 1-hour seminars offered by an outside law firm and emailing the rest of the department with the “suggestion” that everyone else participate in what is essentially a “checking the box” exercise. True diversity and inclusivity are not remotely attainable when the person touting its merits states in a staff meeting during Hispanic Heritage month that he “appreciates our Hispanic colleagues, because they bring SPICE to our department!” …completely oblivious to the awkward silence and jaws that dropped in response. One of the company’s core values is: “the full story told in broad daylight”, which couldn’t be further from the truth in this department. If you are asked your opinion (which rarely happens) and you provide honest feedback, or if you try to make suggestions to improve how the department functions, not only is it likely to be disregarded, but you will likely be passive-aggressively punished for it down the road, if it doesn’t comport with management's views.

Pros

Excellent individual contributors and dedicated frontline teams who support one another through an incredibly difficult corporate culture.

Cons

Leadership within the Technology and Security organization operates entirely on fear, micromanagement, and self-preservation. Transparently reporting organizational risks or highlighting operational gaps is treated as a personal threat by management rather than a professional duty. The leadership style relies on moving goalposts, extreme gatekeeping (like exhausting daily interrogation-style briefing traps), and intentionally vague performance feedback so success can never actually be achieved. Top-performing professionals are systematically targeted, isolated, and managed out through fabricated performance issues to protect executive reputations. Furthermore, the HR department is completely toothless. Detailed, explicit exit interviews outlining this exact abusive behavior and naming impacted employees are met with empty empathy but zero corrective action. HR routinely chooses to protect toxic executives over maintaining basic workplace ethics. Since the corporate takeover, the culture has entirely shifted from psychological safety to compliance through fear, causing widespread burnout, anxiety, and a mad dash for the exits by top talent. If you are considering a job here, do yourself a favor and reach out to former employees on LinkedIn, and hear about it directly.
