Pros

There are pockets of really great people still here, the offices are nice.

Cons

Tons of turnover, can't hold on to employees. Multiple years of 1% salary increases and rounds of layoffs has done a number on employee morale.

Business Outlook

Pros

Only here so I won’t get fined. So I guess steady paycheck.

Cons

Toxic culture. Micromanaging. Burnout. Stress. Unrealistic expectations. Moving goalposts. Heavy workload with limited people, time, and resources. High turnover on each project, especially in D&S. They gaslight often saying workloads and everything will get better. They don’t know how to lead or extend grace. Everyone is fearful of management and clients. EXTREME levels of anxiety that gets pushed down from insecure managers. Honestly I’m just waiting for an escape. I don’t see the value here.
