Your Brand is What People Say About You When You're Not in the Room

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of good people that help make a pleasant place to spend the majority of your time.

Cons

A lot of time is dedicated to talking about how great they are as opposed to actually walking the talk and showing that what's important is actually important. Brand is promoted by relentlessly repeating what a good culture they have, when the reality is that it seems what management is constantly trying to accomplish is figuring out the next person to fire. HR has 0 credibility. Culture walked out the door about 4 years ago. But the money is good!

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, competitive pay, potential to work within a global team.

Cons

Misogynist culture, where senior leaders allowed to gaslight employees and limit careers without cause. You will often hear that they have a "special sauce", which basically justifies the old guard's love of the status quo.
