Good compensation but good leadership and direction are lacking

Anonymous employee

Pros

Good compensation, great culture at the team level.

Cons

Rewards the most toxic employees with promotion, management micromanages too much (which gives impression that they are trying to stay relevant), makes sweeping decisions without thinking through impacts, and long-term goals are sadly short sighted. Too many layoffs of important roles that actually do the work without feasible or even sensible backup plans - too much faith in AI and they eliminated important roles before proving that AI even works.

Pros

Good pipeline and benefits are good

Cons

Culture can be rough depending on your business unit. Do some research before joining. Definitely not a people first company
