Pros

In theory this place should be good to work at, lots of options to go places and develop… but see the cons

Cons

Despite the tone from the top which is incredibly superficial, there is neither a heart here nor an ethical approach to rewarding and developing people. I’ve seen a senior leader in the org literally focus on those people who can flutter their eyelids in his direction vs their capability. If you don’t fit the bill, then you are out / bullied etc until you leave. The incompetence of those people who are placed into roles shines through, but they spend the majority of their time blaming others for their own failures. Navigate the office politics carefully as it’s too easy to end up in a role you love but hate who you are working with that they make you leave. Ultimately the busy industrious people get dumped on for others to take the glory. Seagull management.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
