Overworked, Undervalued, and Poor Leadership
Pros
The broader team is talented, hardworking, and collaborative. Opportunities to make an impact, especially if you're willing to push through red tape. The company’s overall mission and values seem strong on the surface. Some leaders recognize and appreciate good work, though this varies widely.
Cons
Leadership is ineffective, prioritizing saving face over real problem solving. The company claims to support work-life balance, but high workload expectations make this difficult. Favoritism is evident, and promotions appear to be based on optics rather than merit. Gaslighting from leadership is frustrating, especially when real concerns are brushed aside. Decision making is slow, bureaucratic, and often prioritizes politics over progress. Operates as if it exists a few decades back in time.
