Solid benefits, but difficult culture to navigate

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits overall. Strong vacation and time off policies. 401k and compensation were competitive. Some teams were collaborative and supportive depending on who you worked with.

Cons

Hard to take ownership of work due to lack of trust. Ideas were often dismissed or overridden, which made it difficult to contribute effectively. As a woman, I was frequently interrupted or talked over in meetings. At times, I had to frame ideas indirectly just to get alignment, which isn’t a productive way to work. Decision-making could feel inconsistent and not always based on input from the team.
