Pros
The HR benefits are pretty good in addition to time off. Depending on your manager, flexible telework but I elaborate on this below.
Cons
The white supremacy culture here is disgraceful. This is not only my experience but countless others who left and are looking to leave. Those with marginalized identities only last a couple years max. They know this, see it, and try to take the steps to plan out ways to combat this but when it comes to action, they willfully turn a blind eye because leadership can. The power holders and supervisors, which not shockingly are almost entirely white bodies, have gone out of their way multiple times to perpetuate this. There are reports from former and current employees of abuse of power, toxic teams, outright racism, microaggression, and harassment that have come from many people to only fall on deaf ears. These people, usually get a talking to, yet still hold these positions, are still promoted, are still supervising staff - staff of color too, and still make all the decisions to exert their power to try and keep others down. There are many forms of these acts that I heard from others and experienced such as over policing of time off and teleworking, whereas the white supervisor is never questioned, being held to higher standards and belittling staff of color on the team for their suggestions and ideas, being harassed for simply doing what one was hired to do because of personal insecurities and white fragility, pushing BIPOC staff attend and clean up after after work events on behalf of the team so others don’t have to, defacing personal property of BIPOC staff, not having a hiring interview process and designating friends or family members for positions, completing performance reviews and editing it a few days later to lower BIPOC’s staff scores, department heads directly stating that they “understand why people roll their eyes” at equity trainings, lying and spreading fake rumors about other BIPOC team members’ work performance to upper management, racist and privileged office discussions about how “if blackface isn’t allowed, whiteface shouldn’t be either” and “what countries are acceptable to vacation in” while degrading countries staff of color come from, and so many more. The reason this is written is to show that the injustices here range from microaggressions to extremely racist which continues to exist in the culture here. There is no leadership accountability - they put on a show to say this isn’t tolerated but then still perpetuate it then it’s business as usual. It’s a broken system that causes countless talent to leave while the benefitting scum remains.
