Pros

Flexible start time and opportunities to make up missed time.

Cons

A lot of time is spent on gossiping about coworkers, manager included. If you don't want to involve yourself in the gossip and just focus on work, you will become the focus of the gossip. This will make it very hard to succeed in your position as you will be targeted and coworkers will refuse to cross train you. All team members are supposed to cross trained but you will be "forgotten" and you will be penalized for it.

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.
