Would not recommend working here

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers are mostly smart, good benefits, 7.5 hour workday, corporate stability

Cons

Tech management is deeply unprofessional from the top down. Some due to being poorly trained first timers, others due to being long timers surrounded by yes men. VPs and directors will unprofessionally badmouth their peers and mid management to low level employees who they are friendly with. Racist comments and actions are ignored by HR. Healthy work life balance is actually discouraged. Certain members of upper management have openly said they like it when people get divorced so they work more, and they don't want female employees to have kids. They use offensive nicknames for many of the employees and openly joke about them performing oral sex on a specific member upper management. Neither local nor Chicago HR are helpful and anything you discuss with them will be used by your manager against you. If you're interviewing for tech here ask how many tech employees have left in Q1 2017.

No work life balance despite all the hype, spin and marketing

Pros

good business model, good growth prospects for profitability. Invest and buy stock, but working there, think again.

Cons

If not in big circle and big title, all those pros above, do not translate to the employee.

Company is the worst I've seen it....time will tell

Director, product management

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to move around the organization. Schedule flexibility. Nice people. Pretty good benefits, including FTO.

Cons

Company is really struggling due to economic headwinds and difficulties integrating a really large, expensive acquisition. At the same time executives seem to be disconnected from what is really creating inefficiencies and are double down on policies / paths that make it worse. The recent layoffs could have been handled better and left a bad taste in everyone's mouths. I worry about career paths for Jr. level associates long term as everything that can be offshored is being moved.
