Job flexibility, as long as you do your job.

Pros

Remote work...until the company has decided to backtrack on it's word yet once again. Great mission, too bad the company itself doesn't adhere to it.

Cons

Where do we start: - Low tiered pay - Can't trust a single thing SLT or the Board says as they backtrack it - HR (can't emphasize how useless HR is) - Turnover beyond turnover because of a restructure ("Transformation") - Man-made management systems that only work about 60% of the time Now they brought in Pedro who is reneging on some of the perks that the company was trying to give to employees. Before the end of the year it was made well aware that if you wished to stay remote, you can stay remote. Now that Pedro has come into the company, he has taken that choice away and now a "team of individuals" will decide if you can or not. Sounds something like how transformation went. This ties into not being able to trust a single word any upper management tells you. They are disillusioned.
