We are glad you shared both the encouraging points and the frustrations. Growth and development remain priorities, and it is good to hear you have seen that firsthand. At the same time, in person collaboration supports connection and learning for many teams, and we also recognize flexibility matters. This kind of input is especially helpful because it highlights both what is resonating and what requires follow-through. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.

Pros

Great peers and sabbatical leave is a rare benefit.

Cons

Microclimate within SAM with narrow minded senior leaders. Impossible to get funding for struggling teams which keeps operations running. Quiet leaders get snubbed for promotion yet talkers get recognized.

It helps to hear where the experience has been strong and where it has been disappointing. Good to see that team and benefits are supporting you in a practical way. At the same time, leadership consistency matters, and this is helpful to hear. Feedback like this gives teams a more complete picture of what employees value and where more progress is needed. Thanks again for taking the time to share this review.
