Thank you for saying a few words about your experience working for our company. It's good to hear that you're content with the compensation offered and with the benefits provided. It's of course very important to us that our people are able to maintain a healthy work/life balance; we regret to hear that this isn't the case for you at the moment. We hope that we can encourage you to share your thoughts regarding the work load with your (HR) manager, to see how this could be changed. Our upper management is also active here on Glassdoor and is taking notes. Thank you again for sharing your experience and feedback and thank you for supporting us in our mission!

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
