      Pros

      Good pay/benefits, transport support, fun colleagues, strong purpose, some leaders are great and it shows in their teams work

      Cons

      classic big company problem - they put up with bad management and so are losing top talent. If someone has been in the company for a long time then their performance is never questioned. They do these satisfaction surveys every few years - again and again employees indicate there is the same problem but HR does nothing. Bad leadership behavior is tolerated and ignored. Lip service to "Speak Up" culture. Does the CEO even know how his direct reports are managing? After a while there is loss of credibility and trust.

      Pros

      Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

      Cons

      To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

      Pros

      The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

      Cons

      QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
