      Toxic new leadership and culture. Going nowhere fast.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of great people! Good benefits package.

      Cons

      Recently laid off hundreds due to "covid." This masks four years of revenue loss due to an unwillingness to adapt business model and multiple (failed) strategies and products. Toxic new leadership: interim CEO and CCO are power hungry, self-interested and have a boy's club mentality that places a premium on loyalty. Advancement opportunities are inconsistent and at the higher levels, seem to be based on favoritism and ability to fall in line. Leadership constantly changes direction. Pick a strategy and actually build it the right way instead of the fast way. Morale is low and stock is bottom of the barrel.

      No Future

      Visual designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Casual dresscode. Flexible work schedule.

      Cons

      Surviving employees of the good ol’days clinging to jobs because company failed to support their career development. Newer employees who are paid far below industry standard, are given made-up job titles to disguise their low pay and ever increasing responsibilities. Constant turnover, “restructuring,” and complete general avoidance of of acknowledging any data that suggests they are headed for more layoffs (especially the IBM lawsuit and work being outsourced).
