Pros

Diverse and Inclusive culture. Colleagues are very collaborative and supportive, and professional at the same time. Many will become your best friends. Brand loyalty is a must. Processes are transparent and most leadership is very open and transparent about company's strategy and decision making. Data driven decision making is emphasized.

Cons

HR policies lack transparency at higher levels. Rules of transparent hiring apply only to analyst and manager level, and do not apply to Sr. Director and above level. Internal promotion is extremely difficult. You have to basically apply and interview, just as an external candidate. You cannot contact the hiring manager about the role if you work with him/her/they directly on everyday basis. After you apply, HR and recruiters won't reply for months and won't reply at all. No respect for internal candidates or experience by HR, hence moving up the ladder is extremely difficult. If you know someone higher up, you can become a Sr. Director or VP directly from being an analyst or manager with little experience, you don't need to interview or apply. Low turnover up to Manager level. Extremely high turnover above Director level, resulting into continuous strategy changes.

Terrible management

Pros

PTO, onsite gyms, pretty landscaping

Cons

Management is hired because of bro culture popularity instead of skills and qualifications. Management in return does not understand work of employees and tries to constantly implement bad processes and automation. Many of the good employees are leaving the company because of sour conditions and low moral created by bad management. I used to feel like a professional, but now feel like a valueless number. This has happened in the last 2-3 years.

Bully Culture if You're Not one of the "chosen ones"

Pros

Great Fringe Benefits, flexible work schedule, Summer Fridays, discounted products, Great Product, Getting to be around sport

Cons

Believe the news. It's 100% a bully culture. People get promoted based on their friends and not on their merits. It's a mean-spirited back stabbing culture. The gossip that happens in the office (from Management) is unbelievable. For a company that screams "Be True" "All Inclusive" really has a good smoke screen up when it comes to their internal culture. More often than not you will work with an extremely immature management (I mean we have VP's commenting mean things on Instagram to competitive rivals for crying out loud). The amount of drinking and partying that happens in the office is reminiscent of my college fraternity days.
