Pros
  • Competitive salary
  • A cool way of getting your work laptop and other supplies using Hofy
  • A nice online learning platform with good onboarding information
Cons
  • Very little transparency in decision making.
  • Very hierarchy-driven, where subordinates are expected to obey without offering input.
  • Often felt like a tool being used instead of a creative part of a team.
  • Technically very disorganized and not interested in giving capacity to improving legacy systems or methodologies.
  • Little to no team events (virtual or remote).
  • Generally not a very kind and motivating culture, focused more on status than collaboration.
Advice to Management

Take a little more time helping to foster a healthy culture of openness, kindness, and transparency in the teams under you. Don't take for granted that the cultural values coming from the top will permeate middle management and actually reach the other employees. Sometimes a little oversight is needed here.
