Just Disappointing

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- My immediate co-workers are exceptionally technical, hard working, and great collaborators - My immediate leadership is smart, thoughtful and embody the role of advocate. - My project work is challenging and engaging.

Cons

- Senior leadership continues to undermine benefits and trust from their workforce. - Senior Leadership holds all hands meetings and Q&A sessions after policy/benefit changes but glosses over those changes and does not leave time for questions. - if you are not outgoing you will struggle to find work. In a perfect world your group lead will support you but that is not always the case.

Used to be a dream job, now just a job

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great work-life balance. Cool work opportunities. Colleagues generally smart, talented people. Used to be a dream job where you'd spend your entire career. Now it's a job where I work.

Cons

Every announcement from management sinks the company further. The CEO seems to despise his own employees, and most of senior leadership acts the same way. Benefits have been repeatedly slashed. Layoffs are done in secret. Pretty much everyone I know is depressed about the future of the company and updating their resume. A lot of the most talented people I know have already left. It's baffling and really sad.
