Pros

Good compensation/good benefits

Modern tech stack

Lots of areas for opportunity, if you're willing to put in the time to pursue those opportunities.

Cons

The cons I have experienced pertain to the team that I am on and may not apply to other teams:

  • Lack of expectations
  • The need to consolidate important information from too many sources
  • Work/life imbalance
  • Dysfunctional workplace dynamics
  • Micromanagement
  • Multiple reorgs within the year
  • Layoffs
Advice to Management

Standardize recruitment.

Require leadership trainings with the focus on employee relationships.
