Pros

This is my first job out of college, and everyone I work with is kind and helpful in getting me acclimated to post-college work life. There are also several employee engagement-type events where we all get to know one another in a more casual context. I feel like people at this company are far more in sync and connected than other companies I've worked for. I know "company culture" is a buzzword/phrase, but this is the first company that has made me realize the impact of good company culture.

Cons

We are in the middle of a site transition, so it's very busy around here. Lots of new hires. Not necessarily a bad thing- everyone is excited about work! It just gets a little hectic at times. Honestly though, it is far more exciting than hectic so I don't really have any complaints.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
