Pros

- Great benefits and compensation. - Lots of career advancement paths if you’re starting your career. - Nice office facilities, on-site gym and cafe are well maintained.

Cons

- Poor quality middle management, filled with duplicate roles with vague responsibilities that often add no value and have no accountability towards results. - Company culture is focused on how much money can be made, there is no real mission statement or purpose stated for why the company exists. Don't expect any interest in social initiiatives or anything that doesn't benefit the bottom line. - No on-boarding process and almost no training. Every team is it’s on silo working without coordination towards a larger objective. - Leadership often is unaware of the teammates actual capabilities, sometimes promoting unqualified candidates into positions. - Turnover currently is out of control. - IT is underfunded and corporate systems in place are embarrassingly out of date for a company of its size. - If you’re good at your job, you’ll likely be rewarded with doing someone else’s job who is incompetent in addition to your own. There are a few highly capable employees who hold up many incapable through out the organization.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
