Good Company Transitioning from Midsize to Big with Normal Growing Pains

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company consistently grows year after year, has great people, and does its best to keep the service culture. One may develop some great professional friendships there.

Cons

Since so many new people have been hired at all levels, keeping the culture is its biggest challenge. Those that keeps their head down to get things done must demonstrate their value to all. If you work there, do not be humble, show everyone how they benefit from your work.

Pros

Great people, fantastic management (in my department) and a wonderful company culture. Excellent benefits, including its own Wolfgang Puck cafe that is HEAVILY subsidized.

Cons

Growth is eminent so change can be positive or negative - too early to tell.
