Not The Same Company

Pros

Workmates are collaborative and great people. First line managers are awesome - supportive, approachable.

Cons

Executive leadership has changed for the worse - clearly don’t care about the employees. They used to promote from within and now they’re from outside. Their lack of connection to company culture is obvious. They talk about the company values but don’t live it.

Pros

- Overall good pay - Good people - Good benefits - Bringing my dog to work was a highlight

Cons

- Poor leadership: management only cares about how they look to their senior managers - C-suite execs are not transparent. They will come off as understanding and patient on camera but force middle management to enforce what is really wanted by c-suite (ie: being in office at least 50% of the time, if not more) - If you don't have a good manager, you wont be successful here
