Pros

I've read certain locations are very agreeable. Chicago, Crumm Lynn, etc. Bad locations depend entirely on your manager. I think some people are happy in the Boca Raton office, but I don't think most in technology are. If you have a bad mid manager then nothing on Earth will ever move them, because their upper managers have a vested interest in keeping them around so they themselves don't look bad. No one can argue that the benefits are good but I'd argue about everything else.

Cons

Bad management, poor quarterly planning, poor training, inability to craft/follow yearly goals, pitiful raises even for promotions. You will be promised a promotion almost every year, just like everyone else, but you won't get it. Even aggressive promotions are max 5% raises. They will "accidentally" forget to promote you or "the budget/boss doesn't agree" despite their promises. They'll make your boss's boss out to be the bad guy so they can pass the blame and pretend to be "on your side" but never believe this line, ever. Mid managers are told to blame the "big boss" so they look innocent/sympathetic. Their system habitually needs a set of scapegoats vs a set of golden children to function. Even when everyone is doing well, they need someone on which to place the blame. The role of scapegoat rotates, but you will probably find yourself in it eventually. In Boca Raton, speaking Spanish carries more weight than the rest of your resume and performance. Otherwise, anglophones will be hired and promoted on their merits but realize you're playing a rigged game.

Thank you for your transparency. I'm disappointed to hear that your experience hasn't been what we would hope and want for our people. It is important to me that you have the support of your manager and feel good about coming to the office each day. Please reach out to me - I would appreciate the opportunity to help. - Anne Leyden, EVP HR
