Pros
Some co workers who care deeply about their staff and work. Some teams consistently deliver strong results despite constant organizational turbulence and leadership incompetence. Ok benefits and recognizable brands still attractable.
Cons
Leadership is chronically disconnected from how modern work actually functions. Decisions are frequently framed as “culture” or “collaboration” initiatives but land as thinly veiled cost cutting, control mechanisms, or ego stroking for senior leadership. Return to office mandates were introduced despite years of proven productivity, with the irony that most “in-person collaboration” still happens on Microsoft Teams but just now from desk stations instead . Organizational restructures and reporting realignments are intently vague, and anxiety inducing, often presented as strategic vision rather than what they are, uncertainty disguised as confidence. Employee engagement surveys reflect this, yet leadership responses suggest the feedback is acknowledged, then promptly ignored.
