Don't work here unless it's the last stop in your career
Pros
- Non-bureaucratic. - Friendly, well-intentioned people. - Collaborative culture on some teams (but not all).
Cons
- Frequent cases of favoritism and inequity from people in management. - People promoted to managerial roles based on skill expertise rather than management ability. - Lack of career development. - Lack of objectivity in employee review process. No clear relationship between performance and rewards. - Homogenous culture that looks down on addressing gender and culture issues in the workplace. - Groupthink is common, as there is a lack of diversity in thinking and an unwillingness to challenge (and fear of challenging) the status quo. - Recruiting and selection process is based primarily on gut feel and personality fit and less on fair and objective measures (the math test is the most objective part of the selection process). - Managerial decisions typically made based on "gut feel" rather than data (at least this is the perception).
