Pros

Easy to hide in the matrix organization and not be held accountable. Colleagues are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Total disconnect between the "Global Innovation Team" and the folks that actually have to make things happen. Technical arrogance vs. actual commercial value. Lack of connectivity between the idea people and the folks that have to deliver.

Toxic environment and disrespectful leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is okay but not great. There are some genuine nice individuals to work with.

Cons

Where do I even start? Disgusting work environment, constant turnover of employees and management, unorganized at every level of the organization. Incompetent HR senior leadership (CHRO), VERY toxic work culture among EAs, The main individual causing all of the toxicity, stays around and is allowed to continue with bad behavior. Poor communication from HR. I have never worked in a more chaotic, toxic, and frustrating environment. HR doesn't care about morale at all and turns a blind eye to issues rather than dealing with them.
