Falling apart at the seams - Worst Place to Work
Pros

Cons
- Since 2020 the company focuses heavily on hiring diverse talent, but struggles with retention, as many minority employees face unique challenges and lack adequate support. -Assertiveness, creativity, and ambition are qualities praised in certain employees, but similar behaviors from black, asian and latin@s are often undervalued, punished or overlooked. -Leadership lacks transparency, and promotions seem arbitrary, with many managers appearing under-qualified and threatened by experienced hires. -As a private company, there’s minimal accountability for poor decision-making from leaders, and spending often focuses on the wrong priorities. -HR processes are dangerously inconsistent, and reports about workplace issues are frequently mishandled, creating an environment where serious concerns are not adequately addressed.
