- Low pay - Must kiss a lot of butt and “network” to be promoted - Promotions are made in secrecy. Peers have to hide their promotions from those at the same level. Why would any company do this?! - Very “corporate” - Mid-pandemic, employees who deserved promotions for years finally got promoted after company started to lose talent FAST - Pay is unfair. You could be doing the same exact role as someone, making tens of thousands of dollars less - Do not promote in-position, a new role must be open before you get promoted - Old management with old school beliefs - People who stay late are viewed more favorably, even if they produce the same amount of work as those who leave right at 5 - Management (above Manager level) is gossipy, condescending and rude - One of the first companies to be required to return to office full time mid-pandemic. Finally adopted hybrid after they lost talent again - No diversity. Corporate office is mainly white. Executives are predominately white elder/middle-aged males - Expect late nights (Past midnight lots of nights - this isn't IB... you aren't getting paid to work these hours)
