Competitive pay but toxic management and culture

Pros

The salary and benefits are competitive

Cons

Management does not know how to commit to one direction, instead diluting resources across multiple parallel-paths. Everyone is overworked. A culture of micromanagement permeates all of the leadership down the chain. Toxic and unprofessional behavior is accepted

Pros

Fascinating, exciting work, in fields that make a difference. Surrounded by brilliant, dedicated people.

Cons

Wildly under-resourced, both in budgets and headcounts. Mandatory three days a week in the office, even for global roles that are more effectively performed remotely. Little done about problematic personalities in key positions who inhibit excellence.
