Pros

Yeah those perks are great...in the beginning they pay well their name on your resume will bring oohs and aahs from hiring managers

Kontras

It ended up being a bullying, toxic environment. For 5 years I saw "increase women in leadership positions by 35%" and year after year I not only watched that goal never achieved, but I also saw with my own eyes nothing but white men get the opportunities. Your direct manager has way way way too much autonomy. If your manager thinks you aren't a leader POOF! You arent a leader, despite your past achievements! If your "perception" is that you are not professional, BOOM...you are deemd no professional from there on out. Had a disagreement with a co worker? Well that unprofessional coworker will mention that in your 360 review and your incompetent manager will take that as validation that, YES you are in fact incompetent! It was horrible. I stayed 2 years too long and my health was affected by it. Beware. It's not what it is cracked up to be. BUT...it does look fantastic on your resume.. I tried to leave...for 2 years internally. I never got ONE interview. not even an interview. Those positions are like finding a needle in a hay stack. You'll make more externally with the GNE name on your resume. Take the jump. Work life Balance USED to be great, but it's by Management discretion. There is a senior director who won't let her people work from home, or even ON THE COMPANY WIFI ENABLED BUS and those people certainly dont enjoy flexible work options, despite 90% of their job being on the phone. No common sense in a lot of folks.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Kontras

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
