Employees are no longer an important value

Software development engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the company's values still have a positive impact on day to day experience, many teams still have a good culture and supportive management

Cons

Mid and low level management aren't required to follow company culture, can create toxic and unhealthy environments with no repercussions. No two teams will operate the same way There is significant change across the company, and it's relying on the image of it's old culture which is no longer being actively supported
