Pros

Benefits are good / work life balance

Cons

Terrible Senior leadership - no sense of clear direction from them. Have sold unrealistic expectations of the enterprise landscape and set unrealistic targets from thin air. No one seems to know what they are doing - severe lack of diversity -One of the most disorganised companies I have had worked for and keep building castles in the air with no real implementation plans. Low morale all around

Pros

Coworkers across the org were amazing people at all levels. Years ago it was a very rewarding and special place to work.

Cons

Senior management (SVP and up and especially C-suite) is disconnected, lackluster, and has no plan other than to milk the company for whatever is left while they boast about how incredibly intelligent they are. The company went from a great culture (in spite of horrendous DEI policies between 2020-2024 that drove a wedge between employees who had differing points of view) to a cultureless hellscape where layoffs or fear of them were constant and brain drain was the norm as anyone who could leave did. Now a conga line of executives jump on board for ridiculous salaries as they make senseless course corrections while disregarding the advice of the few fantastic VPs and directors who remain- belittling them on calls and ignoring their expertise in front of their subordinates. Soon after their plans fail, they leave- much richer and with much more to boast about on their resumes as compensation declines and workloads for the lower level employees increase in their wake. In most cases, total compensation was reduced by nearly 25% a year for multiple years in a row since 2020 through loss of stock options, ESPP, and bonuses while layoffs contributed to a dramatic shift of workloads to some departments and employees.
