-Extremely limited work-life balance with rigid schedules and minimal flexibility (including work from home options)
-PTO is very limited, especially in the first year (0-5 days depending on start date)
-Hiring process is lengthy and highly intensive, including psychological assessments that can feel invasive with limited transparency on how results are used and stored
-Leadership can feel traditional and insular, with limited diversity of thought and resistance to change
-Inconsistent culture and policy enforcement across teams and divisions due to decentralized structure
-Limited onboarding, unstructured training, and poor clarity around expectations in some roles
-Benefits are more limited than originally presented (single health plan option, very restrictive prescription coverage)
