Dysfunctional and Toxic workplace

Pros

Used to be a quite good place to work for when it was public.

Cons

Very toxic, at times so bad you have to wear a coping cage to stay sane before going into meetings. Regularly throws employees and managers under the bus.

Good employer

Pros

Was able to find a role that benefited my career. Good compensation. Recruiters stay from beginning to end of contract and truly want your success.

Cons

Because of contract positions there is latency between recruiters and contract company. Hiring process was confusing between different org paperwork, and contract owner not clearly defining the responsibilities and requirements for the role.
