Pros

Great lively brand that is known to be innovative, in with the millennial. Office building is also amazing w great gym, etc.

Cons

Culture has evolved into more cut throat and back stabbing. Ever since previous CEO left, company has taken big step for the worse. Poor management at the top. Lots of talent attrition - good people are all leaving. It’s no longer the place that attracts strong talent - which is causing brand to lose steam.

Pros

Benefits are great and if you are part of the chosen few, life is good.

Cons

Leadership is horrible and getting worse. Went from "belief in people" leadership to "self-serving-at-any-cost" leadership.

Pros

Nice facility. Free 24 hr access to a full service gym. Free snacks, fruit and fountain drinks.

Cons

Training is beyond inferior & inadequate, they set you up for failure right away. It's a sink or swim environment. No respect amongst peers. Place suffers from major superiority complex and a bully mentality. Their leaders don't know what it is to lead by example etc. They fired their director while I was there, lots of employees quit, even ones who were just promoted. They've NO STRUCTURE, no stats to guide you. They've a work at home program but you need to qualify for it, however they don't give you stats or reviews of how you're doing so you can improve. That place is maddening. I can't believe a company that's been around so long functions so horribly. I'm glad to have been freed of that place. It's shameful.
