Not a minority friendly corporate environment

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great employee benefits and financial services.

Cons

Not a minority-friendly corporate work environment. Many of the departments consist of mostly white people. Cutthroat, employee rights are violated, and HR supports and protects the bad behavior of white employees.

Worst Leadership Team EVER

Security

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great location and good perks.

Cons

The absolute worst leadership team in the cyber group and it's a reflection of the whole O&T org. AVOID! AVOID! After 15+ years in the industry, the CISO took the worst mental toll on a human being I've ever seen. She berated my boss constantly and in front of others. She has her favorites, all from her previous company and does not listen to anyone except them. Horrible human being. Avoid her org and O&T all together.
