Good health and dental insurance You might find two or three co-workers that are decent

Cons

No career development No opportunities for growth Difficult to move outside of department Manager delegate supervisory responsibility to individuals who haven’t been trained Have to watch what you say to manager because she will repeat verbatim what you tell her Supervisors talking down to employees, yelling at them, lying on employees Co-workers bullying other co-workers So many Petty, untrustworthy co-workers Super Cliques in the department Poor training Micromanagement - group being told that you have to leave a note outside your cube if you’re gone for 15+ minutes

Pros

Remote Flexibility: The ability to work remotely was a massive benefit, allowing for great autonomy, daily independence, and the ability to focus entirely on deliverables without distraction. Product Portfolio: Working here provides excellent exposure to complex matrix operations,

Cons

Workplace Culture: The internal team environment can be highly toxic, fragmented, and lacking in genuine support or positive morale. There is an over-rotation on pointing out negativity rather than fostering constructive or collaborative growth. Management Style: There is a noticeable disconnect in leadership, with heavy systemic pressure and a cultural noise that can be difficult to navigate if you are not isolated from the main hubs. The level of micromanagement is exceptionally high, which stifles individual autonomy. Furthermore, cross-border or cross-functional communication with team members in other countries is heavily restricted and actively frowned upon, creating unnecessary operational silos.
