Pros

None I could think of

Cons

Most demotivating environment No Job security. People fear lay off every day Poor leadership. Senior leadership keeps changing strategies creating un stability in the workforce Highly political environment and the only qualification to raise in the cadre is to be highly political. As a result most senior leaders are the least empathetic and opportunistic. Career growth is zero Technology is outdated. . Zero career opportunities

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
