      Cons

      Toxic Leadership at MPO level and above. Political hires Lack of swim lanes Lack of compensation and transparency (Ive been at microsoft, Azure etc and I have never seen such a manual process) Political "check-ins" with toxic leadership at CEO and HR forcing the agenda (I don't come to work to listen to social justice programs that alienate people, I come to learn about what we're doing to innovate, progress and our strategy) Goaling component is a nightmare and we are losing more money than we already have No budget to travel and make an impact. Competition is killing us and continues to do so because leadership. Toxic MPO leadership that has destroyed our team cohesion.

      Pros

      Lots of downtime. Nothing is good here if you are driven.

      Way too much office politics. People here spend 90% time kissing their bosses butts. Extremely incompetent managers. No one looks out for you.
