      High pay and benefits, but toxic politics prevail

      I/t technical manager/cybersecurity manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The total pay including benefits, paid time off, bonus and 401K matching it at the higher end of the scale.

      Cons

      Very political and a lot of back stabbing and rivalry. To be part of the “family” you must drink the kool-aide. Although they pretend to want problem solvers, do not jeopardize looking too good. To survive you must be part of the machine. There is no true innovation or thinking. Go outside of the box and you are gone.

      Great work-life balance, but competitive culture impacts pay and culture

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work life balance and benefits. People leaders have been great in my experience. Good mentorship opportunities and career options.

      Cons

      Performance based culture has a direct impact on bonus and pay raises. Creates a competitive workplace environment. Great for high performers, but major downside for low performers. Career advancement is very competitive given the large company nature
