      Management should listen more to their employees.

      Pros

      Lots of perks, a lot of flexibility to work remotely and in regards to schedule.

      Cons

      There is a huge lack of communication and cooperation between different functions and between management and employees. There is little openness to challenge of ideas and subject matter experts are usually disregarded. People work in silos, and the organization is hugely political.

      Tough place to work, though you'll make good coin and learn loads along the way

      Pros

      If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. An excellent training ground. Good opportunity to have a positive impact on the business while growing your skills in a tough, fast-paced environment. If you have strong advocates, your career will take flight.

      Cons

      They'll work you to the bone without a promise of commensurate rewards or job stability; this place is not for the faint of heart. Senior leadership has lots of room for improvement, particularly in terms of driving a clear business strategy versus trying to be perfect at everything. Finance calls the shots; very little external/patient/customer orientation despite the way we brand ourselves and the external accolades we earn.
