Pros

Colleagues are on the same boat and help with the stress level but cannot help with workload because they already have too much on their plate. Company medical benefits are really good.

Cons

The management is highly inefficient, with a significant workload compounded by micromanagement. They create a facade of team engagement through events but lack a clear strategy and delegate the planning to staff without consideration. There is no accountability or realistic goal-setting, and the team is severely understaffed, leading to additional duties on top of already overwhelming responsibilities. Communication is poor, hindering collaboration both within the department and across other teams. Management primarily focuses on appearances for upper executives rather than providing genuine leadership or support to the staff. As a result, errors are frequent, and the overall management approach is disorganized and ineffective. HR fails to hold management accountable, so meaningful improvements are unlikely. It’s important to carefully consider the offer before committing.

Pros

Pay and benefits were great. My direct manager was fantastic

Cons

Working environment on the team I joined was highly toxic. To the point where if I knew it was as bad I would have never accepted the job offer. Ended up staying 9 months before finding another job.
