Great company with some terrible senior leaders
Pros
Company values and commitment to giving back to the community. There are many well-meaning and passionate leaders who support and enable a corporate positive and enlightened corporate culture. There are several departments that truly embody the wonderful aspects of the company, collaboration, work/life balance, philanthropy, employee development, and innovation. The company has a good perspective on reasonable employee amenities, providing a good work environment without creating an entitled workforce. The benefits and compensation are average for the industry.
Cons
Bad managers thrive creating terrible and deep differences between departments and culture. Extremely difficult for an employee to seek help or remediation from bad situations - "star" executives trump any negativity surrounding them. No performance management process which leads to discretionary and highly subjective annual reward and comp process. No long term plan and huge disconnects between finance, real estate, and business groups. Rapid employee growth without thought leading to high OpEx and zero profit.
