Toxic Environment with Club Cronyism

Pros

Great talent in the trenches

Cons

Good ole boy club hiring unqualified middle and c-level leadership with constant incest type promotion or elevation movement within the organization with no hope of moving up for others who are qualified and remain in the trenches. The bias practices of hiring unskilled and self-serving C-Level and middle management leadership with bullying has gone too far with not CEO intervention, he is oblivious to what is going on. The company emphasis in diversity is a falsehood and not the practice in certain areas dominated by male counterparts. Ageism is alive and well as part of discrimination, employees replaced by younger green eared personnel and you are forced to train your own bosses.

Pros

Not much - you get paid on time, benefits are decent but have gotten worse over the years. If manager allows it you can work from home

Cons

Where do I begin? The amount of red tape you have to put up with is infuriating. What is trivial at most places is a major pain here. Management agonizes over deciding anything, despite good advice from subject matter experts. Witch hunts are also common for incidents, and the firm's risk-reality-averse attitude is unreal. There is an expectation that things will work 100% of the time, and will quickly dispense blame. Hard work and dedication to your craft are not really appreciated here it seems. It all really depends on the manager you work for and whether you belong to the network of plugged in managers. Finally, the east-west political battles are destroying morale. You have a situation where there are clueless east coast deadwood management and overeager but equally clueless west coast managers that don't understand the business unit they're now in charge of. My advice is to steer clear of this toxic environment until the dust settles.

Pros

Bank holidays, a pension if you can somehow stay for 3 years and not go insane.

Cons

Obscenely over worked, hilariously under paid. From day 1 you are given no guidance and when you ask for help it is treated as a huge inconvenience, to the point where you'll feel dumb for asking questions. Incredibly fabricated senses of urgency for items that do not matter. You're asked to multi-task daily and make no errors at all or else you're crucified for it. Upper management doesn't provide any type of assistance, they just sit on conference calls all day discussing who knows what. Everything is treated as something that has to be done immediately or else the world will end. The budget for efficient running programs to complete simple and daily tasks has been cut so severely that you're forced to used broken stuff. If you work in the US you are also responsible for training teams across the world, and the language barrier makes the training a waste of time. And the coup de grace, new employees who are less knowledgeable and efficient will absolutely make more than seasoned employees, and management will dangle the carrot and say anything to make you stay. I could keep going but I don't want to write an entire book, just avoid the sanctions LOB at all cost.
