Pros

Commitment to effective operations and goals

Cons

Learned during formalized two year extreme harassment campaign, certain employees in this organization forged email and changed goal posts to have me fired due to an incorrect belief I had reported a boss for harassment at a prior company. (he was reported for forgery). They went on to pass this on to IT vendors resulting in systematic blacklisting I had not previously understood. I'll probably never work again now that I understand why I was being yelled at for milestones that had not been set, and saw a look of terror in the eyes of a gentleman working with me. Because I only found out after death threats were made to self, family, and pets, and multiple job moves I now understand why it took place. It could have been addressed much more professionally.
