Pros

Lots of oppertunity to learn. Meet many hard working people.

Cons

Company used to be a place that honestly cared about it's customers and employees. Now it's all about metrics. No thought is given to how actions will impact 6 months from now, only if it looks good on a chart today. Experienced knowledgeable hard working people continue to walk out the door every day as they just can't take it any longer. Many, many more would be following them out if not bound by a very restrictive non compete contact. Every department is extremely thin. Upper management talks as if you have so many resources but nothing could be further from the truth, you are often left to do everything yourself it you want it to get done. Conflicting goals across departments. Influx of new people that think they a here to save the day and proceed to repeat the same things that didn't work last year.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
