Insane workloads, big egos and bad company culture. Do not recommend!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A good place if you're looking for a fast-paced job and not a long-term career. Opportunities to get thrown into the fire and manage/learn a lot.

Cons

Awful company culture, despite some failed internal effort to change it. Most employees here are openly miserable and desperately job searching. Egos galore!!! Major disconnect between cross-functioning teams. Insane workloads. Bad office vibes. All about who you know and not what you know. A lot of smoke and mirrors. Bad leadership. Terrible management, uninterested in helping their employees grow. ZERO process throughout the organization. No logic in the way things work, and no real openness to implement process. Insane deadlines. Bad work-life-balance. Old-school company with old mentalities-- Men often talk-over women in meetings, women struggle to gain respect or climbing the ladder. Employees don't respect each other or their leaders, a lot of drama and bad-talking. Unbelievable amount of turn-over!

Pros

A few great coworkers, some decent perks, not too much overtime.

Cons

Leadership simply waiting for retirement, thus no interest in developing staff into future leaders. Minimal communication between staff and management.
