Pros

Some good partnerships at peer level Unique benefits like childcare center and concierge Interesting company history

Cons

There was little to no internal mobility in my function, I felt I couldn't build a career here. Overall, the organization is very flat. I was an external hire and it quickly became clear to me that my external perspectives and ways of working were not embraced and folks that did move had deep, personal relationships with leaders. I am also disappointed in lack of good female leaders at this company. The leaders that are in place have never inspired me and have taught me how NOT to treat people and run a business. The lack of focus to drive the business is marred by lack of leadership accountability, an "every man for himself" culture and zero flexibility. In one year nearly everyone on my team has left to pursue opportunities at other organizations.

Pros

Great working environment, strong teams

Cons

Very slow promotions and too focused on managing up. This is unfortunate because this is such a great company, but the company will continue to lose people if they don't promote top talent.
