The comparison to Sysiphus is right on target!
Pros
Work colleagues made it possible to survive. Unfortunately, I'd have preferred to thrive! I had one excellent manager for two years.
Cons
The words "commitment" and "quality" are tossed around a great deal, but the culture doesn't bear it out. Quantity is All. There is a note on the employee web page that states, "we appreciate effort but reward results." The level of disorganization is astounding and exhausting. Every day of the last two years I felt whipsawed: one set of expectations from management one day, a different plan the next. Plans and programs poorly laid out, poorly explained, poorly managed. "Transparency" there is an evil joke. There isn't any. Management relies on employees' inability to fight back to push through demeaning requirements like having to sign out to go to the bathroom, of all things. What they call their team focus is really management's absolute control and refusal to operate in in a professional, collegial manner.
