Spiritually bankrupt. Putrid work culture. Employees viewed as the enemy.
Pros
Company has aggressive competitive stance. Work environment is casual and offers nice office perks. Health and retirement benefits are good.
Cons
The fish stinks from the head down, as they say, yet the focus at this company is continually on what employees are doing wrong, not doing, or should stop doing, to improve business. Instead, top management needs to understand that you can't be absent, or be insulting when you do make an appearance, and expect people to respect and want to do well for you. Increasingly the company has been more HR-centric and focused on rules rather than leadership. Ruthlessness has become confused with competence. Favored employees receive successive promotions and raises, more support staff, and greater flexibility, while other diligent workers face reduced resources, dismal performance reviews and compensation increases, dead-end careers, and increasing restrictions. The disparity in treatment is beyond obvious. Longterm inner-circle division heads who have risen in the ranks are out of touch with current business practices and are skilled only at navigating the putrid political environment and sucking up to the company president. If the company is ever to push beyond the barrier it seems to continually hit and never surmount, this tier of management needs to go. HR is now dominated by egomaniacs who are more interested in hearing themselves talk and engaging in gossip than contributing anything that might improve culture or morale. They view and treat employees as the enemy, when they should be fostering and leveraging employees' expertise. Pursue working here only if you feel the brand would enhance your resume, and have your next job in mind before you accept one here.
