Pros

Benefits - but dwindling now Comp - seems fair

Cons

No opportunities for growth any longer It's a layoff factory - even though there aren't mass layoffs, they are happening. Good vision - poor actors who can't execute. When execution isn't had - the blame game starts which causes more meetings, more docs, more use of legacy/outdated tools bc no one takes time to learn something new. The org in support is just a joke at this point. We've rerun ideas from the past that we spent 2 years disassembling only to return to them. What a waste. Some leadership here are living in the past - senior leadership wants to drive new tech and AI - and when we use automation tools and AI tools to drive faster insights for decision making, middle leadership can't figure out how to open them...so we have meetings, discuss what's being shown, and have to export to google sheets, run pivot tables and insights, and then take those insights and summarize them into word documents - which no one reads and we have to meet again to explain the documents and the data in google sheets - and the cycle continues. And how this is allowed is beyond me - I had to sit in a meeting hearing a peer talk through how they don't go to doctors because medical experts are con artists. In the same conversation I have heard that vaccines are a myth and a money grab and show 0% evidence of efficacy. In the same meeting we shifted into how Pete Hegseth is an American Hero. THIS IS WILD! And no one bats an eye at why these topics are being spoken when we were to speak about the effectiveness of one of our programs. Know this - your time here is limited. Strategy will change - your title will change - your pay band will change - and incompetency seems to be valued if you can write shiny documents - but don't you dare read them. And if you do, don't you dare point out anything wrong with them.
