Thanks for giving us feedback. Hearing directly from our associates is the only way we can improve. I'm happy you're enjoying our office and I'm in agreement that our associates are great. However, it's disappointing to hear you're less than satisfied with our culture and aren't feeling valued. Our associates are very important to us, and for that reason, we've been growing our People Experience (PX) team with the goal of improving the associate experience and giving associates amazing experiences. I understand there've been a lot of changes this year, but I can assure you there is no favoritism and all associates across the organization are valued. If you feel comfortable doing so, I welcome you to send me your feedback directly. I can assure you we have a zero tolerance for retaliation. Thank you for sticking with us on this journey. - Becky Schmitt, SVP Human Resources

Pros

Good teammates, projects, pay structure

Cons

- NO PARKING ON CAMPUS!! (They expect employees to find public/street parking nearby and walk almost a mile to reach work. The way we found about is by parking tickets, no internal communication was provided about the new rules). What kind of workplace is that? - DELIBERATE DELAY IN INTERNAL GREEN CARD application process by immigration team. Every little thing (wage determination, ETA filing, etc takes almost triple the time it used to take a year ago) - ANNOUNCING REMOVAL OF INTERNAL FEEDBACK FORUM with very little notice. Multiple people have expressed support against the removal as no alternate channel was provided. - A few other cons include: No 401k match/orthodontic coverage in the first 1 year, sub-standard free Friday lunch, only 6 holidays per year (only 5 since most work on Thanksgiving), horrible middle management
