Pros

Decent benefits, some good managers and employees remaining

Cons

Not enough experienced employees to do the work because of retention issues. Too many hoops when trying to do tasks (red tape, internal processes bloated) and lots of blame games. Work from home and hybrid was cut

Pros

I’ve worked here for several years and have seen a noticeable shift in leadership culture. While expectations continue to rise, alignment and support have not kept pace. Milestones are approved and agreed upon, yet pressure is applied as if timelines were never set. This creates an environment where teams are criticized for not delivering work that was never due. Senior leadership meetings have increasingly become venues for public reprimands rather than constructive dialogue. The organization speaks about culture and excellence, but the day-to-day experience for many employees is pressure without clarity, urgency without resources, and accountability without shared ownership.

Cons

Flexibility is a benefit, but it often feels like the trade-off for an increasingly stressful and reactive culture.
