Hi there, thanks for reflecting a bit on working with us over the last years - that's much appreciated. It sounds like you do like a lot of aspects of the work, but opportunity is one of the things you'd like to see a bit different. If you haven't already, I would recommend talking to your manager about the possibilities to advance. It might be that the specific sector you're working in now, doesn't have too many options at the moment. But perhaps your talent could also be utilized in another department, where more room for career growth is possible. I do wish you all the best in your endeavors in your career, and thanks again for your review.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
