Pros
Some great people doing good work, especially outside of the toxic pocket. The brand still holds weight, and there are teams genuinely trying to build something better.
Cons
One part of corporate is openly toxic. Bullying, fear-based leadership, and power games are standard. The rot starts at the top. Challenge anything and you’re sidelined. It’s not about performance, it’s about control and fear. Decisions happen behind closed doors. Psychological safety doesn’t exist. Leadership protects itself, even when behavior clearly crosses into bullying and exclusion. In some cases, it’s not just tolerated—it’s rewarded. HR surely must know. So do the execs. But it’s politically safer to look away. Morale is collapsing, and people are quietly burning out or checking out.
