Pros

Great people at company Lots of potential for the company New co-presidents are the right women for the job(s) Good benefits Flexible schedule (for most)

Cons

Poor ability to hold individual units accountable to best practices - talent management, etc Horrendous IT leadership - no clear strategy, no sense of what is required to execute, zero focus on talent development, decisions are top-down, executive is combative and has created a toxic culture where people are afraid to discuss issues openly with him. Per a recent discussion with a colleague: "You know how he gets, he was basically just yelling at me the whole time." A statement to which we all clearly understood and empathized with. IT leadership has made little to no genuine effort on DE&I - always focused on checking boxes and not fixing general underlying culture issues.

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.
