McMaster-Carr reviews

Anything you have ever learned about business and logic, leave it at the door. How this business is structured and run defies the norm. Yes they bring in a very diverse and intelligent work force but people’s skills are put to waste. They use a fear based tactic in the management style. You are constantly reminded about the great pay and benefits but remind you that it can be taken away at any time. If transparency and accountability is what you are looking for, I recommend looking elsewhere.

No design leader had any amount of outside design experience, so you don't really learn best practices. Sometimes mgmt will reject doing basic research because they're clinging to institutional knowledge. Inflexibility on remote work options despite hemorrhaging employees (including many managers and very high performers) for 1 year straight. Building a culture out of only recent college grads means: 1) Employees are easier to manipulate and treat poorly 2) People tend to be persuaded that the way they were taught to do things is the only way because they lack outside experience 3) mgmt does not understand how to manage people with outside XP. Stressful culture. Managers can be severe, especially to PMs. People can be transferred to different roles or parts of the company without their knowledge or even against their wishes. Very cis-het white-culture vibes. Golden handcuffs are common - people are unhappy but can't make more money elsewhere (without sacrificing work-life balance) so they just unhappily stay.
