Pros

The role had a lot of potential, most of it went unrealized given corporate turmoil.

Cons

You will only be rewarded if you suck up to senior management or work within specific bounds - out of the box or independent thinking will not be rewarded, and will make you a target. This goes especially for women. They prorate new hire bonus potential to 20% of eligible bonus target even if employee has excelled in all projects. Certain people can get on a upward track, everyone else languishes in their current role with little opportunity to get skills to advance. 12-15 hour days are normal. Worked 100hrs multiple weeks straight. Compensation is poor for the work hours expected.

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
