Draper has excellent benefits, similar to other companies Cambridge.

Senior Leadership is ineffective. Employee's do not understand their roles. Training is needed company wide. Work life benefits is great as long as you are part of the in crowd.

Pros

There are talented people at Draper that aim to do good work.

Cons

The most senior leaders at Draper appear to be completely oblivious about how poor the culture within the organization is. This leaves Draper completely incapable, at the moment, to make any substantive changes to improve its culture. This isn't simply a diversity issue, because even the people from the majority demographics understand how toxic the culture has become over the past decade or so. The would-be change-agents in the organization are not empowered to change it, and the most empowered people there are either complete impediments to change or unaware/unwilling of how dire things are. It's no surprise that trust within the organization has deteriorated, and that people from all demographics are increasingly deciding to try their hand elsewhere.
