Pros
Iconic company Complex and cutting edge programs and technologies. Great, smart coworkers but poor low-level management. The only benefit of having some bad bosses was: I had (most of the time) autonomy which I fully utilized and as result I built a high performing team, scaled up by a ten fold an underdog business, created processes and positively impacted the morale of the team. The company offers good benefits overall. In addition to the typical ones (401K, health insurance, paid vacation days, and holidays), benefits include the option to purchase up to two weeks of vacation and access to Lyra Health for mental health and wellbeing coaching. There are also good opportunities for mentoring through mentoring circles and personal development, especially through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).
Cons
Leadership issues: Over six years, I had six different supervisors, with half of them being the worst managers I've ever encountered. Poor management led to low morale and a toxic work culture. Despite conducting an annual employee survey, no meaningful steps had been taken to address concerns about culture and management issues. There are numerous silos, causing confusion about responsibilities, a lack of transparency, collaboration and inefficiency. Additionally, there is a lack of upward mobility and no room for growth within my department.
