      Cold environment; no warm and fuzzy!

      Pros

      The people you work with are great and are the only thing keeping this place together. Good benefits and more flexibility to work from home than other companies.

      Cons

      More and more little things that make a big impact to employees keep getting cut! No more holiday lunch offered; which was an annual thing and gave the opportunity for teams to break away and have a nice meal together. No holiday gather period! At least the year before they allowed us to do something in the new year but now it's nothing! Let's just say if it wasn't for the ppl it was a cold holiday season in the office and I'm not looking forward this year!

      Great company, culture doesn't always match up to expectations

      Pros

      Lots of product ownership, company with strong values and strong brands that impact the world, extremely strong on resume, opens many doors

      Cons

      Culture can be gossipy (depending on what division you are in), terrible work/life balance, teams are too lean for the amount of work that is given, lack of training and development
