They are growing, have a good reputation within the industry, and offer excellent compensation and benefits. There are interesting problems to solve.

Though they have stated values surrounding lofty concepts, such as Transparency and Integrity, the implementation is sorely lacking.

They have hired and promoted people with impressive resumes, but who lack many of the basic skills and talents needed to perform their jobs.

Though they speak a lot about Inclusion and Diversity, and have training about avoiding bias, the net results are far less impressive.

Walk your talk; become (and hire) the kind of managers you claim you value. Have the courage to examine the culture and interactions between teams and teammates, and root out bigotry and incompetence.
