Pros

- Free gym membership - Middle management really cares about its employees and tries to protect them.

Cons

- Leadership makes very erratic, uninformed decisions that often derail projects and teams. This ultimately leads to poor delivery of products and services. - Laid off excellent managers for new department leaders that have zero empathy and lack product/tech experience. They operate on pitting employees against each other to come up with solutions. It's created a toxic and exhausting corporate work environment to be where folks feel the need to work after hours and over the weekend to meet expectations and protect their jobs.

Pros

Members are great and free membership is a perk. Coworkers are supportive.

Cons

You will be micromanaged to death, whether you have three weeks of experience or 20 years. Policies are vague. Communication with leadership is poor. You can be a strong, experienced performer and have very few classes, or brand new and get 8 a week. There appears to be no logic or strategy to anything that happens.
