Pros

You will always get your paycheck and your benefits.

Cons

They take the diversity thing way too extreme. Caucasian males and especially veterans will not advance to management. They review their employees on one scale that is made public to the employee. Then management have what they call a “9- square” review they also perform and they do not share this with even the employee. This square has all the employees under the manager listed in respective squares with 1 being basically not a good employee and 9 being “should be CRO” essentially. Then they have a diversity legend on the form. This diversity legend include 3 stars for a Caucasian female, 2 stars for a minority female, 1 star for a minority male and, you guessed it no stars for a Caucasian male. These stars are then placed in front of the employee names. This makes it so that upper management can see their “diversity” in their employees. The managers say they do not issue promotions based on this but it does not appear to be true to employees. This is why I chose to leave the company.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
