      Lack of trust & executive leadership is completely disconnected from reality

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits Rewarding work Awesome colleagues Challenging & innovative technologies

      Cons

      Complete lack of executive accountability Failed attempts at transparency, ignoring glaring issues by dismissing problematic comments as "disgruntled" or "misinformed" opinions No ability to hire needed team members without intense approval process from top executives and no desire to restructure teams to get work done more effectively. Way too political and no real forum for letting the best ideas win.
