      More focused on causes than business excellence

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay, great benefits, lots of opportunities for career progression. Very collaborative environment. People are really kind, caring, and invested in one another's success.

      Cons

      The company is so focused on social causes that they are losing perspective on their products and overall excellence in work. There are more meetings held to showcase a specific political perspective than there are to discuss how the business is doing and how it can continue to improve and succeed. People don't have the skills/capabilities they need to actually lead in their area, to innovate, or to problem solve.
