      Magnificent teammates, phenomenal benefits — top-serving leadership that devalues employees

      Pros

      Theoretically, the mission of its three pillars is inspiring. That’s what draws incredibly driven and collaborative experts to join. That, and phenomenal benefits—such as 2:1 giving matches, large donations to employee-selected nonprofits on work anniversaries, generous leave for every life need, really fun team-building gatherings, and more.

      Cons

      Most employees come to feel that the founders care more about looking good than doing good. And senior leaders remain in place only when they serve top leadership, at the expense of employees. Examples include: increasingly removing opportunities for employees to ask questions or give feedback on changes; using subjective, qualitative performance reviews to downsize instead of brand-harming layoffs; and maintaining leaders even when business goals flounder and morale tanks.
