Pros

Competitive benefits package. Supportive, talented colleagues across teams. Regular employee engagement events and workplace perks.

Cons

Inconsistent accountability and performance standards in middle management. Favoritism in hiring and promotion over merit-based selection. Advancement and influence often depend more on internal relationships than on demonstrated competence or results. Limited psychological safety for employees who raise concerns or challenge decisions. Risk-averse, “no-first” leadership culture. Organizational comfort with mediocrity rather than continuous improvement. Creativity and innovation are undervalued, with little senior-level accountability. One-size-fits-all management decisions led to reduced hybrid work flexibility.
