Pros

Knowledgeable, creative, and experienced colleagues.

Cons

The workload has been increased beyond feasibility. Management has made changes that actively complicate and slow down work while simultaneously making dramatic increases to metrics/ expectations. The work has become chaotic and frustrating, quality has taken a back seat to the intense pressure to increase productivity. Several team members resigned due to the stress and the toxic environment, which has compounded the issue. The expectation seems to be that employees will work overtime hours to meet the increased expectations and avoid reprimand. This is, of course, all in addition to the lack of growth potential and brutally stagnant salaries.

Pros

good benefit, company car, etc.

Cons

No raise of salary for 10 years. subtle racism where company prefer to hire a white middle aged manager instead of promoting top performer Asian. And where if you are not middle aged white male, you stuck, does not matter how well you perform.

Pros

Wonderful colleagues who are dedicated and remain consistently engaged and want to drive business and customer experience, long legacy of solid product innovation and commercial teams that understand the customer. Still the most dedicated organization in the industry but the cracks have been created and now are only widening.

Cons

• Leadership failure: CEO is self-absorbed, out of touch, and surrounded by spineless yes-men. • Toxic culture: Favoritism, gaslighting, and blame games are replacing true accountability. Problems are not attacked - people are attacked. • Innovation dead zone: Lip service to innovation while gutting real progress and resources with consultant jargon. New senior execs don’t even know what we make and need to have 101 sessions on the tech. We can tell you don’t know!! • Legacy trashed: Longstanding values and culture are being dismantled or ignored.. • Morale crash: Competent people pushed out; only the “inner circle” survives. • Transformation chaos: Strategy driven by cluelessness, with no ownership or understanding of the damage done. • Echo chamber: Leadership congratulates itself and makes videos while the company burns.
