CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compelling mission, decent Salary, annual bonus, stock incentive, training and certification opportunities, LinkedIn Learning, Headspace subscription, company phone and paid cell plan

Cons

Job assignment very different from job description, extremely toxic workplace culture, no work-life-balance, autocratic leadership, antiquated tech and tools, vendors competing with each other impeding work, bitter stuck 'SME's' after sweeping layoffs last year, silo’d departments with differing incentives preventing alignment, hypocritical corporate values, lack of empathy/felt like no one cared about me, no strategy for managing working with so many global time zones, insane email volume due to low collaboration culture and lack of tooling (until recently), heavy meeting culture, death by the infamous yellow and black PowerPoint.
