The freedom you have comes at a cost. I’ve watched for years as people are bullied and harassed. If you bring it to their attention, their HR will empathize with you and make you feel you understood, but then nothing will happen. Managers are very bad at playing both sides. They do not know how to lead. They use fear and punishment to motivate. They will make sexual jokes. I’ve heard racist jokes. Jokes about women’s body parts from them as well. Little of this has been directed towards me because I’m friendly to them out of fear, but seeing it happen day in and day out is disgusting to me. They do NOT deserve a 3.7 rating. Those high scores HAVE to be recruiters trying to boost this score.
But like I stated, the pros are great if you can keep to yourself. Just do not let them convince you a good workplace exists there. If you want leadership and teamwork, look somewhere else. Benefits are not worth the respect you will lose for yourself by sitting by and watching these things happen.
