Pros

Colleagues are nice and supportive. Opportunities to learn.

Cons

Pay raises are small, and it is really hard (impossible) to grow after a certain level. Lack of trained manager to a) keep you motivated, 2) respect your hard work, and 3) give you the right direction to grow. Lack of support for newer impactful ideas.

Thanks for taking the time to look reflect on your experience being part of our company mission. It sounds like there are a couple of things that could be better, and I'm grateful that you've shared this. Our management also reads these pages, so they can take suggestions and feedback into account for the future. I do hope some of these things turn around, as I can certainly see that motivation and morale is very important. Thanks again for your review.

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.
