Pros

Exec team seems appears to be serious making changes

Cons

This place might be a good place to work for in a few years. Right now? It isn’t. I haven’t learned anything or developed my career. I do the job a toddler could do. My manager is completely clueless about what their direct reports do and completely uninterested in learning or developing us. If I call out my job won’t get done at all because again, my manager who I report to is uninterested about my job and hasn’t even volunteered to even shadow me. My department is a daily soap opera. No intervention has occurred while we keep losing great talent. Maybe it’ll be good in a few years time but right now I don’t go a day without regretting accepting this job offer.
