Pros

Adequate salary/benefits for the job applied for.

Good team I'm working with – comradery and trust.

Work/life balance for the role is great.

Cons

Management is disconnected from the individual contributors/direct reports.

Within feet of each other, and communication is terrible.

No work direction – I'm not sure what's expected of me at work on a daily basis.

I was assigned a new role almost immediately after being hired, and the pay now doesn't reflect the job I originally applied for (pay should be about 15-20% higher based on role change).

Advice to Management

Establish a base set of core activities and work direction for new employees.

Meet initially on a weekly basis for the first 3 months. Then bi-weekly the next 3 months. Finally, meet monthly after that to calibrate and find opportunities for improvement/growth.
