Pros

-The people are incredibly awesome, intelligent, nice and fun to work with, if you have time to even catch up and talk to your coworkers outside of the fire fighting.

Cons

-Low pay compared to market and will tell you that you won't be treated as nicely as treated here -All competence is non existing once you get above L4s, most of leadership these days gets brought in from outside the industry and all who has years of experience internally gets pushed down or out -"Customer-centricity" is fake. They are more internally focused on their 5 reorgs a year to remember they have customers to provide for -You will not hear once "accountability" come from leadership, the business will always get blamed for lack of numbers even though the the business has been running lean since 2018, can't see customers, and has to do everyone's job during the 5 reorgs a year -Their values are fake, leadership are ghosts, morale has been dead for years, it is an actual depiction of the Titanic over there and encourage anyone to grab a life buoy while they can.

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.
