Pros

Good work/life balance Flexible on hours

Cons

Very poor management in some teams, causing a cascade effect of poor workflow on larger projects, recalls, wasted resources etc. Crazy high employee turnover, especially in teams like marketing. Managers play favorites and deny obvious candidates for promotion in favor of people with (often) years less experience who they just 'like' better HR are useless and never fix anything

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.
