Pros

Direct leadership is great, and there are decent learning opportunities. Your direct leaders will usually have your back and go to bat for you as best they can. Peers are wonderful as well.

Cons

Collapsing under its own weight and arbitrary processes. There is no drive to innovate. Executive leadership is fostering a toxic culture, encouraging people to come in while sick while continuously piling work onto teams struggling to get by. Wages are stagnant.

Advice to Management

Actually do something after listening to your employees. Executive leadership has explicitly acknowledged that they expected their actions to result in lower survey results. Why are you pushing ahead? Listen to your directors and their reports when they tell you something isn’t good.
