Pros

Vacation is on the generous side. Great colleagues, depending on what team you're on there can be lots of flexibility for WFH.

Cons

Gore culture is dead and it's sad to see, we're like any big corporation now. We have a financial target at the top of our new culture poster. Morale is the lowest I've seen it. Ongoing layoffs across the organization, including many long term associates. Pay is not competitive. No incentive to go above & beyond, you'll get the same 3-4% CoL adjustment as top performers

Pros

Great benefits and pay helps and feels great, initially.

Cons

The workplace culture is highly toxic and not as supportive of talent as they let on. High performers are targeted by internal cliques who deliberately engineer situations for them to fail. Management entirely condones this behavior, while simultaneously expecting absolute perfection from employees under impossible conditions—forgetting that people are not AI. Furthermore, professional merit is ignored; higher levels of education, years of experience, and employee longevity mean absolutely nothing. Management relies heavily on deflection and stalling tactics to delay growth opportunities. It is an exhausting environment that penalizes hard work and actively blocks career advancement. Overall, the company falls short with their original principles and core foundations for its employees/Associates.
