Pros

Opportunities to lead complex projects: I was trusted with high-impact work that stretched across departments and had executive visibility.

Cons

Misalignment between stated values and actual practices: Core values like “Honor People” and “Align & Commit” were not consistently upheld in decision-making or leadership behavior. Leadership inconsistency: Communication from executive leadership often lacked transparency, leading to confusion and misdirection at multiple levels of the company. Culture suffered during transition periods: The company went through significant structural and leadership changes, and during those times, morale and trust eroded — especially among underrepresented staff. Limited accountability for poor management practices: Despite repeated concerns raised internally, ineffective leadership was often left unaddressed, undermining both retention and psychological safety. Data-informed decisions were inconsistently prioritized: While some departments championed evidence-based approaches, broader organizational decisions didn’t always reflect the same level of strategic clarity or rigor. People teams lacked sufficient support or resourcing: Despite taking on strategic work critical to the company’s future, the People function was often undervalued or overextended.

Pros

Decent benefits, some really good people

Cons

The product is impossible to deploy and clients cant wait to get off of it. Doubtful if the company can sell a new logo based on how competitive the offering is. CEO is the worst I've ever seen at a company. Not sure how he got the job.
