Pros
- Free food and Friday afternoon dessert
Cons
- Horrible leadership and executives. There were a lot of BIG egos and favoritism. Cringe-worthy behavior by executives that were rude, arrogant and lacked knowledge in their supposed area of expertise. - If you had been there for more than 5 years, you were considered a favorite and were protected. No matter how bad your behavior was, people who had been there for a while were protected. If you were "liked" by a leader, you would be promoted regardless of how your stakeholders found your work value/contributions. - There was A LOT of drama. Rumors of execs and leaders sleeping with each other, bad behavior, values misalignment and people not liking others. - No real culture. The teams were all very siloed. They grew too fast and forgot to instill good corporate values into the organization. - Leadership lacked presence and confidence. All hands were awkward and uncomfortable. When C level staff were presenting, you would have thought they were front line managers versus executives. Oftentimes, an executive would say something as a joke or off the cuff and it would be offensive and stir up controversy.
