Pros

Very talented and top notch people (excluding upper management). 401K match is good.

Cons

Upper management thinks its employees are a dispensable bunch and they have no understanding of how the company should operate. They constantly confuse business Finance with business Operations. they lack the competency to analyse and fix problems, instead they kill the business and fire people so the short term financials look good. They, especially this new CEO Deborah DiSanzo, act and talk like a bunch of 1st year B-school kids who just learned some financial jargon and can't wait to show off. With the current management and their practices, there isn't much future for this company.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
