Pros

The employees are/were (before the layoffs) wonderful people to work with.

Cons

Executive leadership does not answer or even acknowledge hard questions during company calls. The leadership team isn't receptive to the feedback of their employees and have a mentality of a dictator - do what I say and don't question what we do. They keep chipping away at any benefits of working there. It is a healthcare company that continues to say we're setting the standard and yet they are barely average when it comes to market standards with their healthcare benefits and office benefits. Leadership, like many other companies, are forcing people to return to office under the guise of "creating a culture of learning". Its really because they overspent on a new office building in an inconvenient location and now need to justify their spend. Speaking of "learning culture" - they do not learn from their employees or from the changing industry. They keep regurgitating the same tag lines with not clear message of where the company is going. Their poor communication to their employees is creating a culture of distrust in leadership. Leadership is performative when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion. They don't speak out about any of these issues in the media and barely address anything internally.

Pros

it was a good company when I first joined, but now it is not. I enjoyed my original team with great leadership, but multiple reorgs changed my team around.

Cons

There are plenty of cons. This is from my experience mostly; • Terrible executives. Only use buzzwords to "build the future of the company" but have no tangible plan for change. They avoid criticism and do not address tough questions from employees. • career progression can difficult from what I heard. Granted, I was not here long enough to fully experience that. Lack of open remote jobs EXCEPT for upper management. • Abrupt hybrid schedule change. • Broken promises from when I first joined. • Multiple team changes. Not necessarily a bad thing, but my experience was with the new team. Lack of help, direction, or respect. • Layoffs. This was poorly executed. Seemed like Byron did not care for the leaving staff. Insanely talented employees with incredible experience were cut. "SMART growth" means new openings will be coming next year yet they cut talent to increase their bottom line at the end of the year... Just bad decisions and lack of accountability. "Be BOLD, but only if it aligns with our ever-changing restructures every 6 months."

Pros

PTO is generous Decent 401(k) matching

Cons

I had really high hopes when I joined the company and at first it seemed like a great culture and clear goals. But overall it’s a constantly chaotic environment, with re-orgs and layoffs every few months. C-suite seems completely ignorant of how to communicate change and they do not seem to have a real vision for the future. Middle managers are burned out and discouraged, leading to apathy and disengagement and thus very poor day to day leadership. Meanwhile, front line staff have a 40-hr a week job but easily 70 hours of responsibility. I am constantly overwhelmed and rarely receive the training or support I need to be successful. I feel certain my job will be eliminated sometime in the next 18 months as that is the general culture in the company, so I’m not especially motivated to give it my all. This used to be a highly desired place to work, but if you’re searching, I’d keep looking. Now is not the time to step on this roller coaster unless you thrive on stress and constant change.
