Pros

- Prior to our company's transformation helped me grow in my career quite a bit. - Some co-workers are kind, thoughtful and supportive - After months of delay did get promoted to a normal role - Used to be a nice culture

Cons

Definitely more cons than pros! - Toxic culture - can't emphasize it enough! The organization has undergone what they call the NSF transformation which literally meant blowing up the whole organization and starting it from almost scrap - I was one of the "lucky" ones that didn't get let go during all this chaos - New people were brought in and they continuously critique the former employees (note: we actually understand the business while they don't), are changing all the systems, and are expecting us to change at the lightning speed - Lack of trust between new and old employees - New employees get better benefits and salaries while those of us the company didn't fire are told to be quiet and be grateful. When I kindly asked for a raise I was shut down by HR and they told me I didn't deserve it despite my stellar experience
