Managers will play favorites

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Many people are caring and kind. Remote flexibility is great. Benefits are okay. CEO is (mostly?) transparent but not super willing to take risks or make much noise among peers.

Cons

Favoritism is very rampant but seemingly and sadly those playing it will not notice or care. Some managers are fine with milquetoast campaigns and barely advocating for their reports even though they’ll tell you they will. Most times, it’s just talk. Work is heavy, hours are long. A lot of us love the mission AND would like to be paid fairly in alignment with location cost of living. It shouldn’t be either/or.
