Pros

Good benefits and work/life balance.

Cons

Where do I start? 1. The prior review that talks about a member of the HR team having an affair with someone management is 100% true. It's the worst company secret and I'm glad someone brought it up. This same person used her position of power to make sure people weren't able to move from one location to another by spreading false lies to hiring managers of internal jobs. She has moved from the Austin, Houston and Stamford offices. And has allowed her position to enact retaliation efforts against good employees across the US, for personal reasons, and to help incompetent management remove employees that expose bad business practices. This is how it works. An employee will bring up better ways to do things or expose serious problems. Senior management becomes threatened because it makes them look vulnerable and they will put a target on your back. Instead of fixing the problem, senior management conspires with HR, and uses them as a weapon. Management will move you out of your position, then HR spreads lies to hiring managers, to make sure you can't get internal jobs. 2. The company in the US is "HYPER" political. Good work and solutions are not appreciated. Only relationships and friends "in the right places" matters. This creates a "clan" mentality where management protects one another if they add value or not. 3. The only good reviews on Glassdoor are from 2 camps - Interns and college hires (who don't know any better). And Norwegian employees in Norway. 4, People aren't recognized who show initiative and make things better.
