Great team, but not the norm

Pros

My team is excellent. There is an emphasis on work/life balance, my manager trusts us to do our jobs and genuinely cares about our wellbeing, and it is a great opportunity to get paid to learn. The benefits are good and have improved since I was hired, but they do not make up for the lack of raises/promotions.

Cons

Most teams do not appear to have the same approach as mine. Micromanaging is rampant, as are layoffs/restructuring. Every month, we hear how much money our products made and how successful we are, but when it comes time for promotions, raises, or even allocating budget for conferences, suddenly there isn't any. The company also boasts about DEI initiatives, but has done next to nothing in terms of action. There was not even an acknowledgement of Black History month or Pride, much less a celebration.

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you value your team, work/life balance, and the opportunity to learn and grow in your role. It's also encouraging to know that our improvements to benefits plans have been noticed. We take your concerns seriously, particularly regarding inconsistencies in management styles, opportunities for growth, and the need for tangible DEI initiatives. These are critical areas we are working to address as we strive to create a supportive and equitable environment for all employees. Your insights are invaluable, and we will share them with leadership to help drive meaningful change. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
