Pros

Some great folks working hard there, spectacular history and family feeling at first. Great level of inclusion at lower levels. Great Chairman, Fisk Johnson.

Cons

The Chairman just simply cannot get people to behave or change. I have utmost respect for him but the management team is mostly a nightmare. I witnessed some of the worst management decisions I have ever seen in my career. The VP level are almost all back stabbers and the cutthroat behavior is rampant. The IT organization is has an autocratic leader who openly disingenuous. Looks great at first but run the other way. HR leadership is ineffective.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
