Pros

I get paid. I can afford my house.

Cons

I just cannot begin to describe the misery of working for an area of the business that just doesn’t have effective management. I would love to have the aspirations, the career opportunities and the backing that a lot of these people evidently have, but I just do not recognise myself as working for the same company; to the extent that it regularly brings me to tears. Be better. Seriously, all you need to do is look at the way that some of these teams who get dragged around the organisation to suit political ambitions get treated in doing so - no leadership, no opportunity, no reward. I hate my job. I hate my job so much.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
