Pros
  • People (usually) listen well.
  • The company invests in training its people.
  • Great benefits and pay.
Cons
  • It's a lumbering corporate behemoth; hard to change things.

  • Concierge and Chatter are soul-killing; it doesn't feel very much like "ohana" when you don't have a person you can talk to about benefits/HR things easily in person.

  • More concerned about hurting white guys' feelings than actually making changes to become more inclusive.

Advice to Management

Make sure every single recruiter in your org has to go through regular diversity and inclusion sensitivity training.

I've seen too many qualified women and people of color passed over and am tired of the white male recruiters getting defensive when it's brought up.

That said, I (usually) feel pretty safe giving my superiors feedback, so that's good.
