Pros

A genuine, caring attitude from the top down. Honesty and transparency in all-hands meetings. For the most part, a relaxed and collaborative environment. Truly values diversity and inclusion. The company values aren’t just a poster on the wall. Company tries hard to stay at the forefront of languages and technologies.

Cons

The people in charge don’t appear to know how to include neurodivergent people.

They are genuinely trying, but company policies treat it as an aspect of mental health rather than its own issue.

Advice to Management

Learn that neurodivergence is important to address on its own. Neurodivergent people should be able to work without being forced to get a doctor to write accommodation requests for performance problems when the problem is really their new manager’s overbearing management style.

If you really value diversity and inclusion, you would let people move to a new team in that situation rather than force them to keep working under that kind of stress.
