Great people to work with, but chaotic management.

Pros

Great people to work with. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the brightest, fairest and down to earth managers throughout my working life. If you have the potential then you do have a clear path to progress in your career, within your domain or cross functionally.

Cons

There are some areas of the business with chaotic management and unrealistic expectations causing everyone to try too many different things haphazardly, resulting in increased stress levels and lowered productivity. In certain areas of the organization there is huge imbalance in the number of employees asking questions vs. those answering them or implementing changes. For instance - for some products there are greater number of BU and PMs vs. PD and analytics. In these teams work life balance can be hard to come by if you are part of the latter two teams.

Pros

My manager and (most of my) colleagues were professionals, and it was a pleasure to work with them. Great benefits. Good work life balance. My manager was fine with me working from 6-8 at home, and then from 9-4 at the office.

Cons

Physical environment was awful for software development. Salary was not competitive, even when compared to those performing similar work in the company. I got decent performance bonuses, however I object to distribution "on a curve", where managers essentially have to duke it out so their reports can get decent bonuses. This ingrains a belief that you can't have a team where multiple people are performing at "exceeds expectations"-- which isn't true.

Pros

Fun environment. Some of the supervisors are really great. The pay is decent.

Cons

If you want to do something other than customer service, you better have atleast Bachelor's degree better if you have an MBA. No matter the the customers don't speak that language.
