      Pros

      Truly have no real advantages.

      Cons

      No job security. Layoffs have occurred every year for the past four years and are likely to continue in the future. There is no stable management; it keeps changing frequently. There are no learning or growth opportunities for employees. No hikes and promotions.

We're proud of the continued investment we make in growth and development and I absolutely encourage you to leverage information on Galaxy as well as to reach out to your manager or the People team to talk about the pathways and resources we have available.

      Thanks for sharing this; it's great to hear your positive outlook on our leadership and vision as that’s something we really care about. There can be challenges that come along with acquisitions, especially when it comes to aligning products and culture. While these decisions are made to support growth and long-term success, they don’t always feel seamless in the moment. Again, I appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you all the best. -Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

      Pros

      The people by far were the reason I stayed at the company for so long. Working with people who helped be part of the solution rather than part of the problem was exciting and fun. Working to solve issues together and collaboratively supporting each other was a great way to drive cross functional collaboration and success,

      Cons

      Senior leadership is a constant turnover with consistent pivots in strategy and direction before there was time to test if something was working. WIth consistent reductions in force, teams have found it hard to stay motivated and unclear as to what the current strategy is. Decisions are made with little context or reasoning to the middle management layer which causes dissatisfaction across the frontline teams. Comp plans were often delayed, incorrectly paid and something we had to spend a ton of time figuring out if we were getting paid correctly or missing something.
