For a small company, decisions can take a while to make because everyone wants to be involved, and most people in centralized roles work across all of the different brands within the company.

As Organization very good, a lot of things to learn if you were Starter to Mid range experience. Colleagues, some managers are really nice and co-operative makes us to improve ourselves.

Constant lay offs. To many senior leads Positions which really don't have the real work for them not sure how organization estimating their contribution to the organization and having these many. Had very bad experience in last 6 months of work here. A team lead caused extremely hostile environment. Constant insulting, rude, belittle, derogatory, disparging,and condensending feedbacks.
