Pros

If you are placed in a great team with a great leader, you're gonna be one of the best. The culture between every team is different. You have to make sure that your leader likes you, or else you are gonna be bullied.

Cons

No Work-Life Balance. Forced Overtime. Mediocre standards towards leadership. Employees are seen as complainers, even if the management has been in wrong for most of the time. Transparency is not evident, decisions are done without notification to the employees. Development of employees are last on the priority list. No clear transition plan for workload of employees that are leaving. Low salary despite of additional workload. Performance reviews are used to attack employees that are seen as a threat to leadership. Promotions are done due to tenureship, not on merits.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
