Pros
Had an awesome team, deeply dedicated to their domain of expertise. Loved the work I did with them. The pay and benefits were really good comparatively to other companies. Did I say how awesome the ICs and my team was.... great, kind, humble (most of them anyway)
Cons
My new boss was toxic: I was screamed at, humiliated, and gaslit for; 6 months. I dropped 30 pounds from the stress and was throwing up every morning when my boss called threatening my career and livelihood. I was a high performer under my prior boss, the only difference now - the CVP above me that I reported to. They were a terror. CVP purposefully set out to destroy our team. Cut our team resources to nothing and then demanded we hit the same KPIs/ "Do more with less". CVP withheld critical information to make the team look less effective than other parts of their business. Very nasty/intentional -- played a game of favoritism and game of thrones. Very political. HR is often weaponized by underperformers - those people then abuse managers through blind survey or filing illegitimate complaints.. No one ever held accountable for filing BS claims - can say nasty things about you and degrade you; while their lawyers try to extort the company for money. Ugly game. HR does nothing to protect front line manager. HR irrelevant and not helpful, only objectives - protect the company and $ -- use a corrupt process. Became concerned for my safety and my family's safety as one employee that was mentally unhealthy threatened me personally. The most toxic environment imaginable.
