Smart colleagues, but not somewhere to grow a career - Data Scientist 84.51° Employee Review

Challenging, exciting problems and assignments. Brilliant colleagues.

Recent churn and reorganizations have damaged morale. Challenging pricing pressures and economic conditions for consumer.

Lots of PTO comparatively to other US based companies Good benefits Onsite cafe and marketplace Onsite fitness center Various employee led resource groups Many Helping Hands charity groups and opportunities to get involved with volunteering

Pay lower than industry standards during most of my time there. Now under Kroger's death grip. They are a wholly owned subsidiary of Kroger and was promised a level of autonomy but at this point they just do whatever Kroger tells them to do. Instead of promoting internally with tenured and qualified folks they chose to fill middle and upper management with folks from other typical poorly managed US corporations with poor corporate culture. Who then proceeded to take those same poor management skills and lack of culture and bring the company down. Many rounds of layoffs. The remaining people and future employees need to keep their heads on a swivel looking for the grim reaper as they may be next to get laid off as Kroger continues to completely eliminate and offshore jobs. Feels like the proverbial stuff hit the fan when the Albertson's merger failed and they got sued (all public knowledge), then the CEO, Rodney Mullins got kicked out the door (with a golden parachute of course) for inappropriate activities (of which we will never find out), also all public news.
