Great benefits, need better leadership

Pros

I've been with this company for quite some time (more than 5 years). I've spent time working in most of their offices. Travel used to be plentiful, but that has sharply decreased. The company offers great benefits and has a generally liberal (progressive) stance. If you know exactly where you want to go professionally and you are very outspoken, this may be a great employer for you.

Cons

Leadership is mostly non-existent. If you want to do something, you will have to take charge and do it yourself (and find colleagues who support your efforts). Otherwise, your great ideas may go unnoticed. Work/life balance is entirely dependent upon how well you assert your need to have work/life balance. It isn't guaranteed, and if you are shy about asserting yourself, you won't have it. Most of my colleagues are here until 6:00 or later EVERY day.

Steer clear of this political hell

Pros

A couple of smart people

Cons

Everything. From the racist and sexist comments made by senior leadership to sabotaging colleagues to weak leadership overall to inner politics at a level I’ve never seen to people crying in the bathroom because it’s so bad… absolutely steer clear.

Awful Experience

Pros

Decent pay and interesting projects

Cons

At time of hire, nobody in my interviews was there on my first day and I never met them in my entire first month. Projects were handed around between multiple people trying to find anybody to resolve with no guidance or help learning the history of it. When I was finally placed on a project team, I was working well after midnight 4 days a week. Management was distant and unhelpful. So many egos to maneuver at this company. 2/10, wouldn’t recommend.
