              Pros

              The people and perks are great. It was a time of extreme growth with the company and as such, many new personalities joined the organization.

              Cons

              Work life balance is not good. The company became too corporate and grew too fast, didn't pay attention to what was necessary to make the organization work at the bottom level

                  Pros

                  The company provides good benefits and fun activities through out the year. work and life balance is good (depends on your role and manager).

                  Cons

                  There is so much politics at this place. They talk about equal opportunity and diversity all the time but it's all just talk. you will only have opportunity to grow if you are part of the inner circle. hard work and going above and beyond is not recognized. most people don't feel save to speak up about these issues and when someone does they either get a push back or nothing gets done because people who discriminate are part of that inner circle.

                      Business Outlook

                      Pros

                      Amazing Brands Great Talented People with some rare characters You can make a difference - not a small clog in a big machine Family Run so think more long term than having to hit commercial numbers and less corporate Flat Structure and relatively small amount of people so easy to reach out to anyone Flexible Working Policy Work Life Balance is important

                      Cons

                      Company has growth up fast in last 10 years, so some of the systems, infrastructure, processes are still behind where they should be. this means you can make a big difference, but if you are used to having all this in previous company it can be a culture shock

                      I’m new to this data analyst part of tech. I’m trying to break in but it’s been difficult. Can anyone help me with what to expect for interview questions for my position?

                      Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

                      Senior Resource Manager

                      Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
