Pros

Work life balance similar to gov job

Cons

Filed with B and C players who rest and vest. Not a performance culture. Management doesn’t base rewards and promotion on delivering good tech and products to customers. Leadership of ML team is good at managing up but don’t actually fix issues. They burry problems and keep low performers so they don’t have to deal with red tape of HR. Maybe management could do useful things like get us data? ML team has no product vision or strategy. Just order takers.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
