Pros

Company espouses right leadership values and is mission driven. I have colleagues I deeply respect, who are open and are great partners to work with. As a director, I appreciate the decision-making authority and overall trust given to leaders. For the most part, I see rigors of accountability at all levels.

Cons

Recent senior leader hires do not reflect company values like empathy, listening and curiosity. Leadership chaos, constant shifting and lack of clarity on major company goals, priorities and focus areas. Lack of resources for middle management to accomplish all that is being asked has led to serious work/life balance issues with a message that senior management "just wants things done." At the top seems to be a constant "yes" mentality and inability to push back on or question unrealistic asks. Conflict avoidance with the CEO tends to be the flavor of the day.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
