Pros
@Jack is a really great spiritual leader for the company. They embrace, perhaps even over-embrace inclusion (meaning its in your face constantly). The food quality has gone way down over the years but hey its still free food. Same goes for snacks. My particular VP was pretty great, some downsides I mention in the Cons. Pre-IPO equity was great. Great Parental Leave Policy 5 months, though I never got to use it. Great vacation policy. Unlimited. Men & Women are paid equally!
Cons
They only try and promote 15% of the people a year, meaning on average each person gets an opportunity for promotion every 6 years. The pay they claim is at 75% of Market, but its really closer to 60% I believe. The Leadership care more about what is going to be discussed at their staff meeting than what is actually going on in their team. Each staff member has hired a second in command that literally makes all the decisions which are often mis-guided. The HR team is crooked. Literally! Besides the fact that they are leaving and flocking out in masses, they are quick to be emotional and not working to really solve any problems, instead they just want to throw money at everything in their org except the people outside their org. I know more about what I'm doing than my manager but they are older so presumed to know more. My leadership does not back us up. I actually complained about someone to HR and their leadership based on my direct reports request, they heard about it and then counter complained. They got promoted and I was lectured about partnering when I was backing up my team. There is a double standard for everything! Most of the good people have left, so most who are left point to everyone else and say "not my job". My manager literally is lackluster. No back-bone. Nice person, but still makes me have to give into everything or i look bad because I know my manager will give in. The health benefits have gotten worse every year since I have been here.
