Good company outlook, poor management

Pros

Well known, large company that has great benefits.

Cons

Even with evidence, HR will not assist you with hostile work environment situations. Management cannot agree on a direction for the company to go in, which results in the team spinning in circles. Management does not adhere to set meeting times or make an effort to meet with their direct reports. Difficult to get direction on projects when no one is aligned on priorities.

Pros

Good benefits and pay, nice people.

Cons

Will always ask for way more than what’s expected of your role. Tons of internal drama and toxic behavior. Days spend in bs meetings back to back to back with no time left to do any of the actual work required for my role. If you don’t over extend yourself for our side of work activities like happy hour or volunteering then your seen as an outsider. Unless you’re ready to have your coworkers as your only friends outside of work and knowing every single personal detail about you and your life then I would stay away. Always looking to stir up drama instead of focusing on the actual work or performance.

Pros

Solid company with ethical work environment and standards. Very team-oriented and collegial environment. Established work processes and standards/KPI's, etc. Good benefits and fair compensation.

Cons

Slow to move on new ideas and different ways of working. Hard to break free of older ideas/stereotypes/norms. "Cliquish" environment at times.
