Vantaggi
Competitive compensation, good benefits, and nice CA campus. Many nice and well-meaning employees trying to do their best under impossible circumstances.
Svantaggi
C-suite management is arrogant, unprofessional, not capable/qualified for their roles, and only self-interested. The company has created an illusion of openness and stability to prospective employees that is well crafted but misrepresents how the company actually functions, which is in a constant state of chaos with C-suite micromanagement throughout the organization. This results in under/mis-informed decision-making being the norm, undermining of upper and mid-level management, and constant flux across every dimension of the organization, which leaves most employees in a constant state of exhaustion and disillusionment. The company does not have a forward-looking vision or strategy, only a series of reactions to the latest crisis that are self-made due to poor/inadequate planning. For instance, the company opened a research site in Pennsylvania and closed it in less than a year from the doors opening. This illustrates how dramatically and whimsically the company functions and makes huge decisions to invest and then divest. The company treats employees as widgets that can be hired and fired with little regard to the impact on their lives.
