Pros
- Most people are friendly. - Agile environment
Cons
- Salaries are below average in their market. - No stability due to a lot of layoffs. - Traps are set by some colleges with personal agendas. - Unreasonable policies for time off and working from the office. - Worst insurance benefits. - No actions after exit interviews. - No/Poor salary adjustment every year. - Employees pay for bad business decisions that came from company management, like the salary reduction suggestion or facing layoff if they were not able to stop the deficit in expenses The Team Lead Cons: - She is a toxic person with micromanagement decisions, underqualified leadership skills, and a bad attitude. - She treats the product as if it were her territory; she understands ownership in her way. - She doesn't trust her team, but one underqualified person that do whatever she wants without any hesitation and mission-critical work was repeatedly assigned to the same person while others (myself included) were relegated to disposable POCs or half-baked implementations, having many compliments as a woman will do more of that. - While my assertive communication style was flagged as an issue (which I acknowledge and am working on), the same behavior—or worse—from leadership was routinely excused. - Despite repeated feedback from peers (e.g., via truChat mentions), no visible effort was made to model the professionalism demanded of others. - A leader’s role is to shield their team from undue pressure and champion their growth. Instead, silence on unreasonable demands. Even high performers were left without mentorship, visibility, or paths to advancement.
