Out of Touch Leadership, Burned out Employees and Below Market Pay

Pros

I really liked my team. Folks had great work ethic and were very knowledgeable

Cons

In my opinion it seems Leadership is disconnected from the employees who are doing the day-to-day work. With continued layoffs, poor systems, hiring freezes, and unfilled roles, many employees are now doing the work of multiple people, leading to burnout and low morale. Pay is not competitive with the market, and internal systems often cause more delays and manual rework. Meanwhile, new executive roles have been added, and raises or bonuses for staff have been inconsistent or nonexistent. There are concerns about lack of diversity at leadership levels. In my experience, there was limited representation of people of color in leadership and low retention among minority employees. The recent return-to-office mandate is likely to worsen things.

Cons

Grumpy old men, management doesn’t know what they’re doing half the time, usually benefits the lineman though

Pros

I do think it is one of the most diverse and inclusive places I have ever worked.

Cons

I think some of the old school culture is still there and can cause unrealistic expectations.
