I would not recommend working here.
The culture is driven by fear, secrecy, and leadership decisions that consistently place cost-cutting above people. Layoffs are frequent, often handled in a hush-hush manner, and employees are left to speculate about who is next. The lack of transparency creates a constant atmosphere of anxiety and distrust.
One especially troubling trend was leadership asking employees to identify tasks that AI could help with. Rather than being positioned as a tool to support teams, it felt like employees were being asked to help map out how their own roles could eventually be eliminated.
The disconnect between executive leadership and the rest of the company is impossible to ignore. There always seemed to be budget for executive travel and global leadership visibility, while employees were told there was little to no budget for meaningful training, development, or team support beyond free online courses. The contrast created a strong “one set of rules for executives, another for everyone else” culture.
Company-wide communication from leadership often made things worse. One message that stood out to many employees included the line that “strategy doesn’t fail at the executive level, it fails in translation." Sending that sentiment to the entire company was deeply demoralizing and came across as leadership shifting blame downward rather than taking accountability for poor decisions.
HR processes also did not foster trust. Employee surveys were presented as anonymous, but in practice did not feel anonymous at all, which discouraged honest feedback and contributed to a fear of retaliation.
These issues extended beyond one office or geography and impacted teams across multiple regions.
