Pros

Great coworkers with brilliant minds. Great middle management who will advocate for you. Competitive pay.

Cons

Since the arrival of the new CEO approximately two years ago, the company's culture has deteriorated significantly. Widespread layoffs have occurred with little to no transparency or communication. Despite repeated verbal assurances over the years that remote work would remain unchanged, a mandatory return-to-office policy was recently enacted with minimal consideration for employee input. Notably, the annual employee survey was distributed shortly before this policy change—raising concerns about the sincerity of leadership’s interest in employee feedback. At the most recent all-employee forum, the CEO avoided accountability for the decision and instead made it clear that employees dissatisfied with the new direction were free to leave. The message was unmistakable: this is the new reality, and leadership is uninterested in how it affects morale, productivity, or retention. Regrettably, I can no longer recommend this company as a great place to work.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Way too much going and l everything is a priority. When concerns are brought up as management is struggling to stay above water daily due to leading multiple teams, having a dozen or more priorities and being in back to back meetings every day, the concerns get brushed off and manager is told to figure it out. Lack of long term departmental vision from Director and constant shift in direction. Director does not care about team members and when concerns brought up from team members through the manager to Director, they get brushed off. So much restructuring going on constantly and leades get replaced every few years due to that. Concerns about more outsourcing down the road as new 3rd party company is starting to take a major application and moving data to their data centers. New major solutions get picked without looking at multiple vendors and any research. Director has a tyrannical leadership style and shuts down conversations and suggestions from management. Director only cares about his image to his peers and people above him and does not care about people reporting to him or people that his managers lead. Management and individual contributors morale is low due to above reasons. Not a good long term place to work.
