Pros
Most of the other employees on the lower levels were incredibly nice and friendly and great to work with, made many friends.
Cons
Upper management and the executive team are terrible. They laid off 1000 people (half the company) during the pandemic and immediately hired back contract workers for many of the exact same jobs (so they can pay people less and not give them benefits). CEO talks non-stop about caring about his people and how the people are essential to the business but then let everyone go with no severance. He is a multi-millionaire who owns multiple houses, part of the Blues hockey team, and more. He later had the nerve to make a video making war analogies and talking about how we got through the storm of the pandemic and are going to be better off from his private farm and then later got a puff piece in the paper about how they reopened campus and are hiring. When there was an article about how he laid a bunch of people off and didn't disclose it to the public, he complained in a newspaper that he was being unfairly slandered and targeted, casting himself as the victim after he laid half the company off. Even before the pandemic the culture was getting worse. It wasn't as great of a work-life balance as it used to be and there became issues with getting to take your vacation, etc. I am on the younger-side and a man but there were frequently complaints of ageism among the older workers and despite being at least half the company it was clearly harder for women to advance past a certain level. One time someone submitted a question asking about why there were barely any women and no non-white people on stage and why they were so underrepresented on the executive team and in upper management and they ignored the question and instead answered joke questions and then said they were out of time even though everyone upvoted it on the question platform. This is not even to mention that the business itself seems like it is going to struggle going forward. The pandemic + they charge other businesses INSANE amounts for platform products that do not function particularly well. It is all show and sales pitches and limited actual metrics that suggest the product is actually helping enough to warrant such crazy costs. The last few years they were in the process of a "digital transformation" and spent millions on a supposedly game-changing new product and kept trying to sell it to people but couldn't ever get it to actually work. The CEO sends out an email every year encouraging people to take the best place to work surveys to show everyone how great we are and so we won every year. But I would take that with a grain of salt. Apparently they recently sued some former employees as well over a "noncompete" dispute, which seems pretty crazy. They just can't stay out of the news.
