Pros

Nice offices, remote flexibility, open space

Cons

Controlling, dictators that say they are going agile but have no ability to let teams or people self-organize. Expected to work around the clock to produce endless status reports, decks, and spreadsheets for all different groups and leaders that in the end of the day provide no value besides satisfying self-serving needs of individuals in the need to control their domain and have the loudest voice or say.

Pros

Decent flexibility for hybrid model.

Cons

Strong push for AI to be used everywhere in the company, but there is no understanding of the consequences. Lip service for modernization while broken processes are simply ignored for unproven 'innovation' with technology. Discussions through the grapevine to significantly cut headcount. Poor workplace culture.
