Cons
Working here was an interesting experience. I found it to be very challenging for several reasons:
1. There doesn't seem to be any investment in employees if you're not high enough up the ladder. I found that there was no real career path available. I understand that that is not a requirement for any company, but if you're just starting out in the industry and you'd like to learn more and grow, you might want to look elsewhere.
2. Management can conflict each other with their directives sometimes. This occasionally makes for a confusing environment. For example, a schedule was set in place for attending conferences for the year. This was approved, and acted upon, and then subsequently cancelled two months later by a different member of management. Management also tends not to value employee feedback. For example, disregarding solutions presented because
3. I can't speak for all departments, but in mine there was a definite vibe of a "boy's club." I would hear some fairly far right leaning opinions voiced and talked about openly, along with easily disproven conspiracy theories and treating "The Secret" as factual. There was some subtle misogyny - for example, management claiming outright that they were only hiring women for marketing roles. Very subtle implication. Also, referring to women as "that girl", "this girl", diminutive. One of the most accomplished women in the field was often referred to this way, not in open forum, but in smaller calls. I will say it was not everyone, but it was definitely people of influence. This was not the culture for me.
There are more reasons why I left, but these should provide a good summary.
