Great team, lowsy company as a whole

Senior financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

10% 401K match. Some good upper management.

Cons

Terrible change management, each department works and acts like it's own company, instead of recognizing how all decisions have up and downstream affects. Poor performers are promoted to get them out of positions they aren't meeting expectations in, while high performers are not compensated for their efforts. Insurance plans are very expensive. No family leave. Upper management is mostly older white men with no interest in improving things.
