Pros
My direct management is incredible...brilliant, empathetic, reasonable, wants the best for everyone. The work is fulfilling and inspiring. The flexibility on my team is fantastic. No one is hounded or micromanaged as long as they get their work done. Everyone is made to feel welcome and accepted for who they are.
Cons
I've been part of 4 reorgs in 6 years. Between that and the various lay-offs, leadership at the top seems to do everything they can to keep things stressful. The recent back-to-office mandates are silly. Of the people I work with, everyone who goes into the office is just on Zoom all day, but in a noisier, more uncomfortable environment. Total nonsense. Tightening in budgets basically forces everyone to work more because we don't have the headcount we need. Everyone still needs to get the same amount of work done as we did with more teammates. Definitely worried people are going to burn out. Moving up the ladder is slooooooow. I've been assured of promotions so many times that either took years or haven't yet come. Increased workload certainly comes way before the title and salary changes catch up.
