Pros
The office itself was fine and the benefits were standard. Unfortunately, success in this job seemed to depend more on personal connections with leadership than actual performance.
Cons
• Favoritism was so deeply embedded that some people appeared completely unaware that everyone else was carrying twice the workload.
• Career advancement happened behind closed doors for a select few while the rest of us met the same metrics and received nothing.
• Raised concerns with HR and was essentially told to build better relationships with leadership, which felt like being told to join the inner circle or remain invisible.
• The office became divided between the favored and the everyone else, and the difference had nothing to do with performance.
• It came down entirely to connections.
• Even when I delivered results that spoke for themselves, opportunities were handed to the same handful of people again and again.
• This did not feel like a professional workplace.
• It felt like a clique pretending to operate a company.
