Great company getting muddied with politics

Business Outlook

Pros

A truly nice company with fun, interesting products that are easy to get behind and practically sell themselves. Good overall growth, competitive benefits, smart colleagues and good growth opportunities although not for all. Get in the good books of the GM and you're all set.

Cons

Work culture has tenacious, with politics steadily seeping in. C-suite needs to swoop in and put a stop to it ASAP. HR and upper level management are fully cognizant of the issues as well as those responsible, but are surprisingly lackadaisical. Stress levels are high and at times unhealthy. Face time in the office is not as important but people tend to work long days and weekends.
