Pros

Quarterly global wellness days paid days off.

Cons

It's super sketchy to see a C-level leader hit up newly promoted folks with an email asking them to drop positive reviews. Like, not cool at all—it’s straight-up manipulative and unethical. Employees shouldn’t be cornered into hyping up their employer, especially right after scoring a promotion. That’s just awkward. Why target just the newly promoted? Seems totally shady. Plus, it sets a sketch precedent for future promotions, almost like a you-scratch-my-back-I’ll-scratch-yours deal where you feel you gotta leave a good review to climb the ladder. If the company was actually legit, it wouldn’t need to strong-arm its crew into leaving fake praise. This move is not only unethical but also tanks the company’s rep big time.

We highly value and encourage all employees to express their honest experiences with us, whether positive or negative. The email you have referred to was intended to congratulate recent promotions and highlight a few opportunities for involvement, including programs such as our mentorship program. While it did mention posting on Glassdoor, it was a suggestion to share experiences. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. - Global People Team
