Vantaggi
Flexible schedule/work-life balance. Some really good leaders and engineers still at the company that have been around forever who definitely value their work and the engineering community at Best Buy.
Svantaggi
Used to love working at Best Buy. The morals of the CEO and the company seemed to align with mine, which is rare for such a large corporation. But things have changed recently where all decisions are coming from the top down, with profits completely over employee wellness in almost all ways. We are also forced to interview candidates for India positions, where they are hiring like crazy, even though internal promotions have pretty much been at a standstill for 2 years now. Very frustrating and doesn't feel like top performers in the US are rewarded. There's nothing my direct leaders can do about it because it's impossible to get new US positions opened in the Digital and Technology org right now. The Ops teams have been drastically cut and many moved overseas so it's also harder to get regular work done efficiently.
