Vantaggi

-Incredibly talented digital team; an even talented UX team -Work/life balance

Svantaggi

- We underwent three re-orgs in my time there. This last re-org lasted 7+ months, and the result was to eliminate 2/3 of the UX roles (from 30 to 10). There is of course a strategy behind this decision, but it is crazy to me to cut of all things the digital team in 2018... - Too big - it's hard to have ownership and gain meaning from certain projects and teams - Not all roles are valued (invited to meetings, etc), which makes it hard to contribute to the team

Vantaggi

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Svantaggi

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
