Pros

I had the opportunity to work with some great people and learned a lot in this particular role. I also liked the flexible schedule/remote working ability.

Cons

A lot of power politics; information is often highly controlled, and trying to get relevant information was a challenge at times. There are some people who have managed to make it to leadership roles that are not, in my opinion, quite ready to be there. Leadership entails the ability to listen.

Advice to Management

Monitor progress of those transitioning into lead roles. Some of them are not quite ready for their roles.
