The work is extremely challenging and rewarding. The way that the CEO addresses the company is very transparent and tries to have everyone's needs in mind.
Unfortunately, the new VP or People has undone the great culture Aurora had. His new team just seems to want to look good at the expense of employee morale and belittling people's feelings about certain subjects. There was a great opportunity to bring in a diverse person to the leadership team but here we are with a team that doesn't have employee's needs in mind.
