Pros

When I joined, the culture felt collaborative, values-driven, and supportive. There was a strong emphasis on growth and inclusion, and I worked with many capable and dedicated colleagues.

Cons

Over time, the environment changed substantially. The culture became increasingly political, and advancement appeared more relationship-driven than performance-driven. Transparency around role changes and workforce reductions felt inconsistent with public messaging, which created confusion and mistrust internally. In my experience, raising concerns through formal channels did not result in meaningful resolution. The environment became highly competitive and, at times, emotionally taxing. What was once a collaborative culture shifted into one that felt siloed and difficult to navigate. There was a noticeable gap between stated values around inclusion and how decisions were experienced at the team level.
