Pros

Salary is very competitive. Bonuses are usually very good. Management allows you to work independently and with authority to work make your own decisions for your projects.

Cons

Culture is very siloed. There is a lot of "that's not my job" attitude that makes it hard for teams to work together.

First off, I'd like to thank you for having been so loyal to our company - as you've been with us for over a decade, that's nothing to sneeze at. Besides this, we do appreciate your input, as someone that has been with us for as long as you have, you definitely develop a certain understanding of the company that reaches beyond your own daily tasks and position. Which could be valuable input for both us, as well as people reading these reviews. Regardless, it's much appreciated, and I do want to wish you all the best in your future endeavours from here on out.

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.
