Pros
I genuinely struggle to think of any real positives. Your peers that you work on day to day projects with are nice enough but hard to form any real relationships with the way things are set up.
Cons
Middle management are useless and clueless. They’ve clearly promoted people who have just said ‘yes’ the whole time they’ve been there and are happy to continue and promote the toxic environment that exists. The unrealistic deadlines are forcing the technology projects to fail as so many corners end up being cut. They think that putting more pressure on people will make them work faster, but because they try and put pressure on using fear and threats, people stop wanting to go the extra mile and instead look for the easy way out. It creates an awful and toxic environment. Senior Management and Leadership are the worst I’ve come across in my career, which is 15+ years long. They’ve clearly promoted the nasty people who thrive on the toxic environment they have created and rule through fear. I was on calls with members of the senior management team who were swearing at junior team members and telling them the work they had done was not good enough. It is the worst place I have ever worked. When I raised some problems I was having outside of work that may impact my focus at certain times, I was offered no support and instead my line manager put more pressure on me to meet ridiculous deadlines they had agreed to.
