Pros

employee perks are nice. work/life balance is good. opportunity to learn new things thats all.

Cons

compensation may not be as competitive, compared to other employers in the area. Manager's seem to care only for the direct reports with whom they are in good terms or maybe friends from some of their previous employers, for the rest of the people on the team its just about hard work, taking up new challenges and at the end don't expect any recognition or promotion for all the good work you deliver. No recognition for any better job done, no growth expectations. Even after putting the Manager's through all the leadership trainings I guess nothing really changes, if the nature of the person is like that.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
