Pros

Flexible work schedule is nice at first, until you realize it’s because no one cares.

Cons

The leadership is a mess. They’re constantly changing goals and barely communicate it to the rest of the team. If the favorites know then that’s enough. The department I was in had more managers than regular employees. The favoritism was so blatant with some of the regular favorites getting more than one promotion in a single year despite not having the work product to back it up. I never trusted our vp and always felt he was only looking out for a select few and not the whole department. Also he takes more vacations than anyone other than the ceo, which is a lot. He seemed very unqualified for his role and most of the time just gave us fluff.

Pros

Sadly, none at the moment

Cons

Leadership & Culture: Leadership lacks alignment, which creates confusion around priorities and expectations. Frequent shifts in strategy without clear communication. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than thoughtful or data-driven. Insecurity at the top trickles down and impacts morale. Culture struggles with transparency and trust. Communication & Structure: Cross-department communication is inconsistent and can be siloed. Feedback is not always welcomed, even when intended to help the business. Important information doesn’t flow smoothly, causing repeated misunderstandings. Teams are sometimes blamed for issues caused by unclear direction. Workload & Expectations: Workload can be heavy due to constant pivots and shifting SLAs. Goals and KPIs change frequently, which makes it difficult to measure success. Lack of standardization across processes leads to inefficiency. Limited support given for new initiatives despite high expectations. Career Growth & Support: Career development is inconsistent and not always based on performance. Leadership changes can stall or reverse career progress. Recognition largely depends on which department you sit in or who your direct leader is. Onboarding for internal roles and promotions lacks structure. General Environment: Internal morale can be low due to uncertainty and inconsistent communication. Changes happen quickly, often without sufficient explanation or resources. Teams are spread thin, making collaboration challenging. Employee concerns are acknowledged but not meaningfully addressed.
