      Pros

      Flexibility, Pay, Benefits, Some leaders are absolutely excellent and do not get the credit they deserve

      Cons

      Leaders tend to rotate among the various centers of excellence. Each one trying to "make their mark" on that function resulting in regular restructuring, constantly changing priorities, and often unnecessary layoffs. Some senior leaders continue to demonstrate behaviors not consistent with the code of conduct or the general philosophy of the organization but still get promoted. Observed what can only be termed as corporate bullying from several senior leaders who continue to find their way into taking on new or increased responsibilities.

      Pros

      Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

      Cons

      Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
