Pros
The company has a recognizable brand and a mission that can be appealing at first. There are talented individuals who care deeply about their work, and the environment can be fast paced for those looking to build experience.
Cons
The internal culture lacks psychological safety, particularly in cross-functional and people-facing partnerships. Gossip and unprofessional commentary about colleagues and leaders are normalized, creating a “mean-spirited” environment that makes collaboration difficult. Rather than fostering trust and partnership, some teams operate with a high level of judgment and politics. This makes it challenging to be authentic, raise concerns, or feel supported without fear of backlash. Over time, this behavior has eroded morale and contributed to burnout.
