Pros

Worked with some really wonderful people, especially creatives and mid-level management who really try to be innovative, collaborative and passionate.

Cons

Upper management are bullies who only care about social status, sycophants and where you went to school, not your abilities or technical achievements or skillset. Have no appreciation for what it takes to execute their whim projects, no planning and any feedback or request for support is treated as annoyance or burden. Basically everyone's motivating factor is not to get screamed at by Harold. They forced out my boss of over 10 years and took a wrecking ball to the department without any knowledge of the platforms of processes of how to operate. Almost everyone I worked with there has either been fired or quit and are all much happier. Also expected to be available 24/7.

Pros

Some very smart minds working here

Cons

- Extremely toxic work culture - Senior Leadership have no strategy. They chase good PR to the detriment of the health of their teams. - All power stems from the top. It changes like the wind and is not anchored in the mission or evidence. If you are not kowtowing to the leader, you are let go and without any respect to what you have contributed. This can be seen in the C-suite changing constantly over the past year. - Resource allocation prioritizes senior leadership salaries, which negatively impacts delivery of programs and services. This also illustrates to anybody wanting to invest or fund that it is not a good place for ROI. - Extremely high turnover is a reflection of toxic HR and senior leadership.
