The Culture Is In Decline

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a great mission; the CEO is a visionary; there are many in Senior Leadership who are true disruptors and innovators.

Cons

Internal Communications are lacking. Responses to feedback regarding questions and suggestions for improvement come across as tone deaf. HR is a bizarre rabbit hole of dysfunction and unprofessionalism. career advancement is uneven at best; some teams promote constantly; others are stagnating in a position for years, where the only option for advancement is to seek employment on another team. Tangible, meaningful benefits are subpar for a company in this sector of this size. Terrible Aetna health insurance plans, low 401k match, no match for charitable contributions, etc.

Pros

- Brand recognition on your resume - Flexible work arrangements depending on department - Benefits & perks are above average

Cons

A martyr desires nothing more than a sword to fall on... Everything used to be in the name of culture because that was the flavor of the month, so 2016... Now we're "radically simple" and "refreshingly candid" Abrupt changes have left clients and employee scrambling to make since of everything. Huge gaps left by the 10% staff reduction.

Pros

Dogs at work, really great food, work from home is flexible

Cons

Leadership does not care about developing high potential leaders. We're not going to make it if we don't take a material interest in new hires and allow them to make an impact here with guidance and support. Untrustworthy/dysfunctional HR.
