Pros

Willingness to spend on employee social events and formal training programs. Amazing office views. Some really dedicated and smart people.

Cons

- no focus on any kind of diversity, especially at the leadership level where everyone from director level and up is white and mostly male - no efforts from management to develop corporate culture - people in Accounting are expected to work weekends and evenings but are never provided any flex time to make up for their after-hours work - people fear going to HR about issues because there is fear that HR will label them as problematic and they will be terminated - there are many examples of the boys club at the top hiring and promoting their friends - lots of remote workers and consultants who rarely show their face in the office but yet local workers are not trusted to work from home

Lots of politics

Pros

- Some great initiatives to motivate employees but these seem to be more historical and current leadership is just lazy about getting anything new to the table - decent pay -

Cons

Some very bad management behaviours are tolerated. Good people are let go regularly and replaced with highly paid consultants Some very toxic areas of the business - I worked closely with IT and HR and they were the worst Bad behaviour is tolerated for many, many years with very little done to help correct. Old school thinking - not willing to be innovative or be open minded to new ideas

P&L based management

Pros

You learn a lot as you get thrown into the deep end immediately. Very production oriented company. Many people there are supportive and culture under the right management is good.

Cons

You're just a number. If the numbers don't match up, then you will be thrown. There is no loyalty from the company and not many incentives for you to work hard. Management wants to squeeze every drop out of you.
