Pros

I was genuinely excited to join this company. From the outside, it looked like a place that valued openness, collaboration, and integrity. But from the start, I found the environment unwelcoming and closed off. Key information was often withheld, and collaboration felt more like gatekeeping than teamwork. I raised concerns to management on multiple occasions — about the lack of transparency, the poor communication, and how difficult it was to feel included. Each time, I was met with dismissal or silence. Nothing changed. • Good pay and benefits • Talented individuals trying to do their best despite the environment

Cons

• Unwelcoming culture masked by surface-level positivity • Withholding of important information that hinders your ability to succeed • Management is unresponsive and unwilling to address concerns • A culture where speaking up leads nowhere
