Pros

Most colleagues truly care about mental health of members.

Cons

1. There's just a lot of internal issues. 2. Current leadership cares a lot more about their own self advancement and not so much their subjects. Actions speak louder than words. 3. The product team leadership has changed a lot in the last 1 year. Mostly resignations. What does that tell you? 4. General mental pressure/fatigue. The perspectives of management the tone of managers is not one of a mental health professional.
