      Pros

      People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

      Cons

      Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.

      Great teammates, but poor management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Collaborating with supportive teammates was a highlight of my time here. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience prior to recent changes in IT leadership.

      Cons

      There is a clear disconnect between upper management and the workforce, which is reflected in low executive approval ratings. Following the arrival of the new CTO, communication has significantly deteriorated. There is a strong perception of favoritism, with the new leadership bringing in external hires while existing employees face layoffs or feel forced to resign. Despite repeated strategic failures under this new direction, there has been a complete lack of leadership accountability or ownership.
