Pros

If I wrote this a year ago, there would be some

Cons

Work Environment & Culture: -High pressure and poor work-life balance. -Burnout is normalized rather than addressed. -No consideration for workload capacity or realistic timelines. -Team culture deteriorated drastically: from positive to negative and unsafe. -Employees can’t speak up without retaliation. -Discrimination, racism, and lack of respect for multiculturalism are ignored. -Management openly makes fun of employees with others. -“Bad seeds” and cheaters are rewarded and promoted. Management & Leadership: -Leadership quality dropped significantly after early 2025 (previously strong in 2024). -Current management shows poor leadership, unrealistic expectations, gaslighting, bullying attitudes. -Lack of clear communication from leadership (decisions made without context). -“Tough conversations” are used as a cover to pressure employees into doing more, often outside their role. -Justifications for negative changes are framed as “keeping high standards.” -A lot of promises are made with no follow-through. Career & Development: -Little to no career development opportunities. -Career growth seems blocked in favor of rewarding the wrong people. Compensation: -Salary remains stagnant despite higher workload. -Compensation is not aligned with expectations or market value. Recognition & Fairness: -Hard work and results go unnoticed unless they fit management’s narrative. -Recognition seems biased or political, not merit-based. -Employees are treated unequally depending on favoritism.
