Pros

Dress down Fridays were the highlight of the work week. You get 1,000 dollars’ worth of free makeup. Great healthcare benefits.

Cons

There is a glass ceiling, about 90% of top tier positions are held by men. Very political and cliquey. Huge sticklers for coming into work early.

Pros

Collaborative team at the IC level Nice product perks and gratis Decent long-term stable company

Cons

Mid-level management feels stifled by ED and VPs who've been there for 10+ years without change and don't use modern leadership technique or philosophy. Unwilling to change their antiquated ways despite asks from Executives to modernize. Unclear leadership directives.
