Pros

The benefits are great, and some of the best I've experienced, and the corporate headquarters is a beautiful and physically nice place to work. If these are most important to you, and you don't mind a hostile, rude and unfriendly work environment, then this is the place for you.

Cons

Experiences/ culture depends on what department you work for, but overall culture is rude, cut-throat, and everyone cares only for themselves. Communication from executives is very vague, and often biased or misleading. Interactions and communications among management and coworkers is rude. Employees are often made to feel stupid, and unfairly put on the spot to be made an example of. Work hours are flexible, but employees are expected to work 24/7. HR does not provide a comfortable forum to bring up and address issues as they are ingrained with management & executive teams.

I appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback, although it is certainly tough to read that you are so unhappy here. Your experience differs from what I hear from most employees, who tend to speak highly of their coworkers and the work/life balance offered here. We’ve worked hard to build a culture of strong teamwork, and collaboration that aligns with our “better together” philosophy. As your experience seems to reflect otherwise, I’d like to hear more about it and welcome the opportunity to meet you in person. I would encourage you to contact me directly. Thanks again for your comments. Beth Grous Chief People Officer

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
