"Pros: - Beautiful building. - Everyone is very nice. Cons: - You silently stare in the eyes of a co-worker for 10 minutes every morning (this is not a joke). - No flexibility with work hours. - Required to attend 3 day long pep rallies, work weekends, and sales meetings after hours with no pay compensation. - Whether or not you are a consultant you must go through an extensive consultant training program. - Things move at a snails pace, everything requires the approval of a lot of different people. - You are forced to share your feelings and personal life, with a microphone, in front of 250 people. - Overbearing environment. - It feels like a bunch of kids are trying to act like adults and play office (doesn't feel like real work, you constantly do things and think "why are we doing this..." with the answer always being "it builds connectivity/affinity). - You do exercises and attend meetings more than you actually work. - You are encouraged to take on new roles and accountabilities and are not compensated other than a pat on the back. - People tell each other "I love you" way more than is comfortable (this started after my first month, very uncomfortable). - They want to enroll your friends and family into their programs, they never stop asking. - Starting pay is well below the average. - A lot of workers (at least half) are married/ family, there is a heavy bias because of this. - Zero tolerance for working remotely/ flex schedule (very "breakthrough"). I have not felt this uncomfortable since High School."

"Great culture and good folks. Technology can be primitive because Gap retail is not in the software business; it is in the clothing business. Technical debt is regularly accumulated and seldom addressed. It is a large organization with a hierarchical order, so cross-function productivity can be slowed significantly. Technology vision is lacking."

"I've worked for The Gap for a short period of time, but it is very upbeat and a very easy place to work. It's perfect for a college student paying their way through school or a retiree. It's a fun company with a fun set of coworkers and employees."

"I've worked for Gap Inc. in the Gap Tech IT department for almost 2 years now, and since that time spent everyone in the department is jumping ship. There is no leader ship and no management. The help desk manager, along with the senior director of IT as well with some key personal on the team al resigned in the span of 90 days. Which in result left our department with no direction. Even til this day they have yet to fill those key roles. The IT department seems to be working blind with no sense of direction to why and what direction we are moving in. On top of all the it was announced to the company that our CEO will be stepping down before the year is over."

"My experience was full of micromanagement from incompetent managers who lacked the ability to communicate with employees with respect. Every single day you will be hounded about convincing customers to submit their personal info (such as their SSN) to get credit cards. Yes, shocking for a retail store. During corporate visits, any employees who are not in management will not be acknowledged, you must run around to ensure customers do not approach management, although they can assist customers as well. There is little to no room for advancement, and employees are underpaid."
