Pros

I believed in OSU, I worked so hard to work for them. But the department that I was in was all about who they like.

Cons

Managers do not listen to new hires , they will listen to team leaders who will tell them anything if they do not lile you. I was treated very unfairly because I am a woman of color

Pros

Exciting atmosphere, wonderful colleagues

Cons

Really difficult to get promoted, even with excellent performance review, constantly shifting priorities and taking on additional work. Lots of red tape and silos. Benefits are great but pay is under market value
