      Poor onboarding and highly political culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some good people exist but unfortunately they are less hence can’t survive this siloed environment

      Cons

      If you value your peace of mind and mental health, please steer clear. Environment is highly toxic and operates on ‘tribal culture’ where they protect their own even at the cost of dysfunctionality. Gatekeeping knowledge, hoarding information, Zero documentation is the norm and work culture here. So if you are a new person joining the company, join with the mindset that you are being setup as the fallback guy for this dysfunction. Absolutely NO onboarding/transition support and God forbid if you are a structured, process oriented guy, you will be labelled ‘difficult to work with’ by this tribe.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      benefits are very good. includes stock ownership. many divisions/dept so there are career options. hybrid work model in place.

      Cons

      incredibly corporate and bureaucratic. top heavy. They don't invest enough in technology for staff. Pay for avg staff and mid managers is not reflective of the job expectations. A lot of very stressed out people.
