Pros

You felt heard, good culture, and decent benefits. Work life balance is not bad for construction either.

Cons

Career progression & opportunity isn't supported from upper management. End of year decisions are not followed up on, and feel more like a box tick then meaningful. You wait 12 Months to have a decision and you get 5-10mins with nothing substantive. The coaching system isn't that effective, I've hear some people having success with it but that is really coach dependent. Not all PM's, & PX's want to be coaches and you are going to see that attitude as a result.

Pros

Great opportunities for professional growth and exposure to complex, cross-functional work.

Cons

* Job responsibilities frequently change and continue to expand beyond the original scope of the role. * Employee burnout and turnover are ongoing concerns as lean teams are expected to absorb additional work when employees leave. * Workloads have increased significantly over time, while compensation tends to remain on the lower end of the posted salary range. * High performers are often rewarded with additional responsibilities rather than meaningful compensation adjustments or additional support. * Organizational changes and layoffs are not communicated transparently. In some situations, employees may feel they are being managed out. * New leaders and managers are sometimes placed in their roles without sufficient training or support, creating unclear priorities and unnecessary inefficiencies. * Sustainable work-life balance can be difficult to maintain, particularly during periods of organizational change.
