Pros

Diverse work force with a lot of interesting backgrounds. Great products that help the world.

Cons

Highly toxic environment, where bad behavior is constantly rewarded. Not much empathy or understanding towards work life balance. Long hours with little to no payoff. HIGH TURNOVER - Lots of highly skilled resources are leaving for better jobs because of the bad management.

We regret hearing that you didn't feel like you had a healthy work life balance and that the management in your workplace leaves much to be desired. That's not the employer we aim to be, obviously, and we really value your feedback. Upper management is active on this platform too, so you may consider your review duly noted.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
