Pros

Only positive was that the job was a paycheck with mediocre benefits (diminishing with each passing year). Management was always taking about improvements which were very slow to happen if at all.

Cons

Utterly disorganized. The manager I reported to was not held accountable for abusive behavior and sabotaging direct reports. HR is checked out. Employees frustrated with the culture were not supported for their efforts. It was like working into a void. No connectivity. No leadership. New initiatives were not properly rolled out therefore there was a lack of buy-in on new technology. Random efforts at cultural behaviors which resulted in failure.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
