Pros

Some good, a few great, managers. Some really great co-workers. Some opportunity to move up, some really smart people found in odd corners of company.

Cons

Everything is a secret. Too many decisions made in vacuum without input from folks with useful information because of the secrecy. Rush decision. Favoritism not skill too often behind hiring in senior levels. Too many opportunities only in Dallas. So if you live in Dallas, great, but if not, many key jobs being moved there, and not as much interesting work left in Denver or Minn. The secrecy issues cannot be overstated. Communication between global divisions, is improving, but it's not enough yet

So much happening it is hard to stay on top of it all if you aren't regularly talking to other functions A bit isolating - no opportunity to meet people in person

Pros

Remote work, good amount of pto and holidays off.

Cons

Horrible leaders that pretend to listen. They don’t involve the rest of the team and don’t hold any team meetings like all hands before Madison Dearborn took over. Upper management feels extremely fake and don’t care.
