Pros
Get a chance to work with some very smart people
Cons
Toxic. You are just a number. I joined Millennium as a project manager to make a meaningful impact but encountered the most toxic experience of my career due to my manager's insecure, incompetence and political maneuvering. I have faced gaslighting, credit stolen, my contributions undermined, my capability was hidden and I was not introduced or not allowed to talk to my stakeholders just to avoid me outshining. My stakeholders were shocked knowing my departure and recognizing that my performance was far superior than what was acknowledged. As far as I know I'm not the only one who has similar experiences with gaslighting and micromanagement. I came from a big company and I left for a big company, with multiple times of their total asset under management. I got my new job with a significant pay raise, where I now got promoted and lead my own team and work with supportive people. I suggest these drama queen managers to stop being arrogant and acknowledge others talent - most of time it's just far more exceeding what they could imagine as they just don't know much. My advice to candidates: avoid toxic environments and seek roles that encourage growth and respect.
