Fair enough, but morale is low

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Lots of bright colleagues to learn from. - Name recognition for being a Fortune 500 company. - Lots of opportunities to learn new skills.

Cons

Return to Office Mandate - a backwards thinking policy that is devastating to work/life balance. Many of us have to have our meetings over Teams anyway, because our teammates and other colleagues are spread across other offices. We were more productive when we could be at least in hybrid roles. Morale is at an all-time low. Lackluster salary and benefits for a company with this level of prestige. Colleagues seem to be getting laid off, many are worried about mass layoffs in the near future - not the best job security.
