Avantages
Live/Work Balance 401K Matching program 9/80 work schedule Nice office A select number of trustworthy and competent leaders (most are former Talisman leaders) who are unfortunately working in a broken system with other leaders who dont want to change.
Inconvénients
-Leadership on every level is just abysmal. Communication is non-existent and when you are told something by leadership it is full of contradictions and usually offensive. - Ageism and sexism by directors and managers. In any other company this wouldn't fly but people are afraid to go to HR due to HR's inability to professionally deal with these issues. - ZERO respect for employees. -Former Talisman employee's benefits were slashed. - The US Business unit and Trading group are hemorrhaging employees and other groups are made up of a lot of expats who are miserable but leaving the company would mean having to leave the US. - Training and employee development is non-existent. - Things take forever to change. -Morale is so low and literally everyone wants to leave. - Events that are supposed to improve morale are just painful to attend. They are so disconnected from the employee's wants they are a joke. - Managers think everyone being miserable means things are fair. - People don't answer surveys honestly because they are convinced they aren't anonymous. So the company has no idea how miserable people really are. (To be fair that last part isn't the company's fault, but its a con nonetheless)
