Direct managers are good, executives not so much

Pros

Direct managers are very good and work hard to help you get things done and be successful

Cons

Executive management is openly condescending and insulting to employees, particularly anyone who works remotely, to directly quote them from their last company town hall “we know remote workers think they are being productive”. This extends to policy decisions as well as compensation decisions, as an example this year they have announced, despite excellent financial performance they will not even consider a general cost of living raise
