Pros

- Fellow co-workers are mostly on the same page with the chaos that happens, the good ones make themselves known through their actions in collaboration like every other org. - There is leadership (albeit a small few) that actually care and protects their teams against the constant outpouring of idiocracy.

Cons

- Leadership cares more about their marketing facade in the optics of the organization than actually changing things for the better. - Workers are constantly overburdened - Process changes constantly happen due to a "request from leadership" which consistently leads to confusion, overprocessing, and workers being blamed for their inability to follow the process that was seemingly haphazardly put together. - Very contractor-heavy and high-churn, with internal processes lacking in accounting for this type of environment, often leading to confusion and frustration in who owns what and who should have access to what. Intermediary workers in between teams often get blamed due to the lack of coherent process, and this leads to a significant number of mental health implications. Whenever someone has gone on-leave, or is no longer with the org, there is no communication made or delegate appointed, leaving workers to figure things out for themselves.
