Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive starting salary for college graduates (especially with a Master's degree) Networking/professional development opportunities are abundant Excellent experience to learn to think on your feet & contribute to a team immediately

Cons

Employees are burdened with multiple individuals' work due to poor recruiting/hiring practices Lack of DEI emphasis in hiring & management that is "old school" Poor onboarding approach - thrown into the fire with little to no support or guidelines Executive leaders & senior directors continue to depart the company due to various restructurings, projects getting slashed, and poor company performance in the stock market Change is happening so quickly and retention is so poor
