DEI is abused

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is somewhat competitive as is work life balance.

Cons

Too much focus on DEI, they don’t promote on merit but rather to check the box to fill DEI quota. Everyday is spent putting out fires the senior managers have created due to their lack of knowledge. Recruitment is very slow as the HR team spends more time at bogus conferences, they are young and lack experience. EVP’s spend their time chasing bogus endorsements for the lack luster company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to be clear that our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is not about quotas—it’s about fostering a workplace where all employees have access to opportunity based on their contributions, skills and potential. Our commitment to DEI is a critical part of who we are as a company, driving the award-winning culture we have and continue to build, while remaining a strategic business decision to ensure long-term success. We also recognize that there’s always room for improvement, which is why we continuously work to refine our processes to support a high-performing team. We appreciate your time and contributions while a member of our team and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
