Pros

Used to be good work-life balance and good work culture where people used to be respectful towards others

Cons

Culture has deteriorated a lot over last few years, Ever since they acquired CEB, Which brought in a bunch of incompetent/Political people. Company has stopped hiring on merit, They are busy filling up their quotas. Company has become Top-heavy, With too many VP, MVP, Program Managers, Program Directors, Senior Project Managers etc. There are multiple people in the chain whose only job is to take status and force people into doing shoddy work with unreasonable timelines. They don't have budget to hire people to do the actual work, but have all the money to give away to Ladder-climbers, A Project Manager has more value in this company than the people doing actual work

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
