Pros

They strive to improve, although they don't always succeed. Closeness of direct manager. The additional benefits, but we are losing them.

Cons

Many changes are driven not by results, but by preferences. Knowing the right people (know-who) is more important than knowing how to do things (know-how), which leads to certain professionals occupying roles that exceed their capabilities, while the actual work is done by profiles whose contributions remain invisible to management.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
