Pros

I loved working there for the first several years. I felt my work was really helping to make workplaces better.

Cons

Management was a mess. Strategy was always a moving target; sometimes it felt as if they were changing things just for the heck of it. After I was put into a new position without being asked about it, I left.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule, benefits, free access to hbr articles, the Harvard name

Cons

Extreme disfunction. Every senior leaders opinion matters so that’s 10 different stakeholders you have to account for. Sr leaders are turning more into a mafia than actual leaders. Toxic workplace filled with politics.
