Micromanagement and unrealistic goals

Pros

Majority of the team was smart people, very helpful. They give the last week of the year off.

Cons

Micromanaging to the extreme. Wanting regular updates which take away from time spent elsewhere. When you're leading something but the group lead has a relationship with the study team they will meet without you and you'll just get word or "the team is upset you need to do blah blah" instead of redirecting the team to you. No autonomy at all. The study team can take weeks off without a second glance and cause delays and then will turn around and blame you for the delays. You can't make any calls without a study team member signing off and that causes more delays. Trying to take time off that you have earned is a whole other situation. They will discourage because the study team needs regular weekly meetings to get updates. Meetings that can easily be an email. Processes are not efficient and any suggestions to make them better are squashed.
