Company on the Decline

Pros

Local team is generally much better than the corporate leadership Technical roles have recently been expanded. No longer need to go into management as the primary source of pay/career advancement.

Cons

Forced RTO, 5 days a week full time in office. No hybrid opportunities. No remote opportunities outside of IT. Corporate leadership actively destroying company culture. Corporate leadership has stopped caring about employees and cares only about business/shareholder performance. CEO has outdated mindset on how to run a business and employees. CEO is a micromanager, tries to micromanage a company of 16k+ employees with blanket policies. Current corporate culture and policies are driving away employees. Company has hard time attracting/retaining talent.
