Pros

Well they do pay on time

Cons

The workload is consistently overwhelming, with unrealistic expectations and deadlines that leave no room for a healthy work-life balance. Despite numerous assurances, there is a glaring lack of resources and support to meet these demands. The training programs are inadequate, leaving employees ill-prepared and constantly scrambling to catch up. Communication within the company is another major issue. There is a pervasive lack of transparency, with crucial information often withheld or only shared at the last minute. This creates a chaotic and stressful work environment where employees are left in the dark and unable to effectively perform their duties. Furthermore, the company culture is toxic, with a high turnover rate that speaks volumes about the dissatisfaction among employees. There is little to no recognition or appreciation for hard work, leading to low morale and a sense of futility. The benefits and compensation packages are also subpar, failing to adequately reward the significant effort and dedication required.

Pros

Very few pros come to mind, there were some great people on the individual contributor level I worked with across multiple teams however many left or are on their way out.

Cons

This is a highly toxic and disorganized work environment. Leadership’s lack of knowledge, direction, and experience is apparent. When I started, leadership was disengaged and disconnected to everything. I noticed there was a sudden and obvious change in leadership’s approach where “urgent” asks from above were being requested with little to no context. Unrealistic and changing expectations started being communicated as the norm. This caused confusion, chaos, and burn out, resulting in extremely low morale across teams. Concerns and feedback were either ignored or people were penalized/suddenly terminated for speaking up. Lastly, it doesn’t go unsaid there is no work life balance or professional boundaries here. This is a work environment that sets people up for failure and can have a serious impact on overall well-being.
