Pros

Catered lunches, really cool office digs (the former drop box office), an onsite gym, and free rides in the AV.

Cons

A senior HR BP told employees to take MDMA's if "it will turn that frown upside down" in regards to low morale. If our HR is this rotten, imagine how the rest of the company is!

Cruise Response

Cruise HR here — to be clear, this statement is inappropriate and in no way represents the experience we want Cruisers to have. Illicit drug use is absolutely not something we encourage, and we do not support dismissing employees' concerns about morale in this way. We pride ourselves on taking a caring approach, and listening to employees when they approach our HR team for guidance. We also encourage all employees to escalate concerns as they arise directly to HR or anonymously via our Ethics Hotline.
