Had potential but constant dramatic resulted in dysfunction

It delivery manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Environmentally ethical, great products, flexible work atmosphere, long-term strategy and vision in place for success and normal to high compensation.

Cons

10+ years of dramatic transformation, inclusive of pushing key components to outsourced/partners resulted in broken down processes, extensive delays in resolution of issues, dysfunction, lack of 'cultural atmosphere' and implementation of work-place-innovation has provoked a lack of in-office attendance to provide enhanced culture and collaboration; but isolation. Difficult to balance given many roles require 'odd' hours to work(early AM, late PM).

Pros

Great 401k match Flexible schedule for non-hourly Many good people Challenging

Cons

There are the "chosen" and then the rest Politics drive too many decisions, not good judgement. Expections of company exceeds the rewards. Company boast the best of the best, yet there policies and demands make no sense. It doesn't matter how much you sell an idea, a poor idea is a poor idea.

Culture is spiraling down

Digital marketing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, large company for your resume

Cons

Culture continues to decline. Employees not focused on. No development path, and management is negative to those underneath. Lack of focus on employee retention and all seems like a game to get ahead. Continuous office politics with lack of care on influence it has on culture.
