Some really great people in the rank-and-file.

I've met some VERY smart people here.

LOVE working with customers on new and interesting things.

The company definitely doesn't practice what it preaches. They selectively apply their leadership principles, and the politics within the leadership circles is atrocious.

Directors protecting M2's; M2's protecting M1's; M1's throwing their team under the bus and creating busy work to make themselves look good.

Retaliation, harassment, and forcing people out are abundant here. They "strive to be earth's best employer," yet fabricate things to put people on performance management, move them out, or fire them.

They are actively practicing ageism, forcing out older, higher-level employees to replace them with younger, lower-level ones. Experience is not valued.

They cause many people to go out on medical leave for stress and anxiety, yet HR doesn't get to the root of things. Only lawsuits make them take action.

Manage your people like you would want to be managed.

Treat your people with kindness and respect.

Be loyal to them, and they'll be loyal to you.

Not everything needs to be a doc. Sometimes a discussion is fine.
