Headquarters is micromanagement and slow decision making at its finest
Pros
Prodeals are awesome; you get gear and equipment at greatly reduced prices, it's only for employees, not spouses kids or friends & family, but good deals. Dog run is great; I share a space for my dog with another dog owner so we can bring our dogs to work a couple of days per week and play with my dog during breaks in my day. I've been able to work in a couple of different roles but it's very hard to move up or get promoted at headquarters. Culture used to be better, it's been going downhill over the last year or two.
Cons
Micromanagement is rampant at headquarters. Leaders do not trust each other, or lower level managers. Coming from another large organization, so I was used to decision making being slower, but I've never worked somewhere with so little autonomy; every single thing produced must go through several layers of approval before it goes out the door. Decision making is bottlenecked regularly, especially by senior leaders, which slows down timelines and impacts the teams reputation with stakeholders. Multiple leaders are way too involved in the mynoot details on things....and it starts at the top. More and more people are leaving headquarters because they are fed up with the lack of leadership and infestation of micromanagement. Plus people are overworked. I used to be proud to work here but it's hard to recommend this place anymore.
