Pros
There are some great, tenured people in the ATI sales organization, as well as other lines of business. Mike Lynch is an incredible leader. Most of the leaders ( I worked with)genuinely cared about the people who were on their teams. Truly, people first.
Cons
Executive leadership. There is not transparency in what is happening. There are games played versus having open conversations. I got to witness the games being played with executives at the C level, as well as my own supervisor. I did not understand why the game playing was necessary with strong leadership. I watched person after person walk away. If a C level leader cannot have a direct conversation with an executive on their team, maybe they are not quite ready to lead at the C level. "Inclusive" is a value at Ascend, but I did not get to experience that value in my position. Quite the opposite. I was left out of important meetings and communications, then judged for not having the information shared in those meetings. The communication (for me) was non-existent.
