CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Team culture in my organization is the best of any company I’ve worked in. Everyone is very hardworking, smart, and super supportive and enthusiastic to collaborate, at least within our team within IGTD (approx. 80 people). I feel like people are motivated and you feel like you’re working has an impact.

Cons

As with any large company, the processes and approval structures are infuriating, and frankly might be worse than other companies I’ve worked for. For example, it took 5 months to even kick off a proof of concept that probably will only take 3 months to actually do.
