Pros
The people and direct coworkers were genuinely supportive and collaborative. Many employees were dealing with similar challenges, which created a strong sense of teamwork and willingness to help each other. Despite broader organizational issues, most teams worked hard and tried to support one another however they could.
Cons
Leadership doesn’t seem to have a clear direction for the company, so priorities and decisions were constantly changing. A lot of decisions would get made and then completely reversed a few months later, which made it hard to feel confident in anything long term.
There were also a lot of staffing and restructuring changes without proper training or support, so people were basically expected to figure things out as they went.
The company became very focused on enforcing in-office policies and making sure people were physically at their desks, while employees hadn’t received raises in years despite heavier workloads and inflation. That disconnect was really discouraging and definitely contributed to burnout.
Burnout was something constantly talked about across teams, but it rarely felt like anything meaningful was done to actually support employees or improve workloads.
A lot of employees were also expected to sell or support products they didn’t fully believe in, which made it hard to feel set up for success from the beginning.
