Great team in terms of work culture. (Personal case: lacked compassion)

Pros

Great team, built around trust. People trust and strive to keep up each other's trust. Brilliant people to work with. Could see "work hard, play hard" being followed.

Cons

Everything you say can be used against you. There's no compassion for personal issues. Anything said when you are having a hard time outside of work can be used against you, so you are always vulnerable.

A great team, if everything in your life is just smooth.

Advice to Management

People can come back and do great when they are down for a bit for whatever personal reasons. Anything said at a personal level in manager one-on-ones is personal between the two. A manager can choose to help or ignore, but please don't make it official by sending an email about it and using it against me.
