Great brands, good work-life balance but low equity & diversity

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Overall, kind, talented, and highly motivated people who love what they do and are eager to contribute - Healthy work-life balance (at least on my team) - Great brands and interesting work to have on your resume - Flat, collaborative teams

Cons

- Inequity in raises and promotions across the company (the reason I left), you have no understanding of why some people get promoted and others don't - Performative diversity - They are trying to improve and HR is working hard but the current leaders are mostly white and from Portland and suffer from groupthink and bias. They say they care but actions speak louder than words and I don't see any meaningful change to address discrimination or uplift minority voices. - Lack of transparency and avoidance of talking about hard issues - related to the point above but in general leaders deal with conflict by ignoring it instead of addressing it. They are more concerned with people-pleasing than doing the right thing. - Below market pay (in the name of getting to work on big brand projects)
