Pros
* Flexibility to work remotely * if you like constant change, you’ll get it here * Co-workers & team (we were all in it together ... the good and the bad). * the culture (prior to 2019)
Cons
* Leaders didn’t communicate which lead to lack of guidance. I like being autonomous and self-driven in my work but with lack of communication (1-on-1, department, written) I really felt on my own. * Too many leadership changes which didn’t make you feel invested in work and the above point didn’t help. * Lack of professional improvement. Last two years I was there, my requests were either completely ignored or denied. This was despite the fact leadership said they were going to invest in this. As were my employees’ s requests. * Lack of culture (2019 to present). I know there are teams that really have that but my department didn’t. Too many changing faces and lack of leadership driving it and it basically felt like you were just punching the faceless clock. * Project Management was a complete mess, driving off the PM’s to greener pastures elsewhere. * My last two years I put in an insane amount of hours to make sure I got the job done. Requests for help didn’t do much. I’d get this in return: “The business needs this done or ... (insert job on line, CI is watching this, etc)”; “It’ll slow down after this project”; “Prioritize!” “Oh, wait, change that priority! This is more important now.” With each project nothing changed. It was more of the same.
