Pros
I absolutely loved my team and many of my co-workers. They are some of the kindest, hardest-working people I've met. Everyone really brought their best despite little recognition or support. They were very generous to me at times that I really needed support, but I attribute a lot of that to my boss and team, not everyone was so lucky.
Cons
Leadership is incredibly top-heavy, fickle and set on finger-pointing. There are so many VPs, so little communication and a constant need to cover themselves. I have been through several rounds of layoffs where wonderful, important people were pushed out, to save mediocre, overpaid white men. I approached HR multiple times about a difficult employee who showed extremely problematic behavior towards women and minorities, including CUSTOMERS, and was frequently ignored. This person was later fired for using a racial slur to a black employee. It was known that several men in HIGH-level positions harassed women at work, were openly hostile and discriminatory, one even watching pornography on work computers. Nothing was EVER done about this. Again, we were seen as the problem and told to look at our own behavior as women. During Black Lives Matter protests I reached out to HR about ways to diversify our staff, implement diversity training, and reach out to employees of color. All of that was again ignored, further alienating women and people of color on staff. It was an abhorrent scenario that I can't believe still exists in 2021. The current CEO is padding the executive team and board with more white men who don't know what they are doing and alienating long-term staff. I wish all my co-workers the best, but I hope there is a day of reckoning for leadership.
