Pros

You can work with some of the smartest people in the world.

Cons

C-Suite is unaligned with its employees and the company's mission. Switched from "for discovery" to "for profit." Poor advancement opportunities. SN hardly promotes from within. They routinely hire from outside the company rather than promote and reward their own workers. Employees are not given the resources they need. Ever. "Do more with less" is the standard. "We just need to put up with (insert temporary solution) for a few months and then we will have what we need to do our jobs" is a recurring phrase at every quarterly meeting.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
