Pros

Some smart, well-meaning people are trying their best despite the dysfunction. Pay might be competitive (but it's not worth it). If you want a case study in how not to run a company, this place is a goldmine.

Cons

Company is in a constant state of crisis and reinvention. Two full global restructures in under a year, now on the third iteration of a business unit model – no clear strategy, no accountability, no leadership, just throwing darts at the wall. Leadership is shockingly inept. There’s a culture of reactive decision-making and zero follow-through. No clarity on roles, career paths, or long-term plans. Expect to be whiplashed into a new org chart every few months. Morale is in the gutter, but we're reminded executives making millions of dollars are humans who will make mistakes too. If you care about stability or sanity, this isn't the place.

Pros

Generally good people. Pay and benefits are decent

Cons

Management keeps taking away employee perks and seems to only want to hoard more of the wealth, Record gold prices yet we continue to have cuts and had multiple waves of layoffs... disgusting. No upward mobility
