Vantaggi
-Name has l lot of recognition, particularly in the tech industry (i.e. looks good on resumes and people tend to be impressed when you tell them where you work) -No full-time layoffs (yet that is - many contractors have been let go recently)
Svantaggi
-C-level management drastically underestimated what the post-pandemic landscape would look like, leading to many recent stock declines. A major issue when many employees were sold on the long term value of their new hire equity/refreshes which makes up a large portion of their total package -PR for the company has been a nightmare. It's been one negative headline after another recently, all of which affect stock. -Company forecasting is a disaster and they had to issue a hiring freeze recently out of nowhere. This has left a lot of employees with a ton of extra work on the corporate side, plus affected the livelihood of those on the Talent Acquisition org -Leadership made a lot of promises about long term growth opportunity, but for many employees that now feels like it's in limbo with all the recent issues -Major pay disparity issues. People are being hired into the exact same role but their compensations are differing wildly. -Company morale in general is just super low. A lot of employees sound like they are starting to explore new opportunities. It doesn't help that the C-level execs and instructors continue to live it up with things like lavish holiday parties and buying new Hamptons estates while the majority of employees struggle with their day to day.
