Thank you for sharing your experience as a current colleague at our Burlington site, and for the positive recognition of our benefits and work-life balance. We hear your comments on organizational silos and career path clarity. Navigating a large and complex global organization of our scale and history can sometimes make it harder to see the full picture of where your career can go. We are actively working on further reducing silos and improving cross-functional visibility. On career development, we encourage you to explore the opportunities available through our MyGrowth platform, which is designed to help employees identify growth paths, development assignments, and new opportunities across the organization — including temporary or permanent moves into different teams or functions that may not always be immediately visible from within your current role. We also invite you to share your perspective through our annual Employee Engagement Survey, where input like yours helps shape how we evolve our ways of working and career development frameworks. Thank you for your continued contribution — we hope your journey with us continues to grow in the direction you aspire to!

Pros

Some managers were exceptional mentors and played a significant role in my professional growth. Good benefits and a reasonable severance package during workforce reductions. Opportunities to work on large-scale marketing initiatives and collaborate with experience professionals across the organization and globe.

Cons

Advancement opportunities often felt inconsistent and lacked any transparency. Leadership frequently emphasized data-driven decision making, but business decisions did not always appear to align with the metrics being presented. The company appeared hesitant to embrace emerging technologies and AI-driven approaches, limiting innovation in multiple areas. Job security is uncertain, and organizational changes occur frequently with little warning. Management quality varied significantly, While some leaders were outstanding, others struggled with communication, strategic direction, and people management. Career growth seemed to depend heavily on organizational politics and alignment with leadership rather than solely on measurable performance.
