      Poor people management

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good access to knowledge & Training, work/collaborate with highly talented individuals.

      Cons

      People management is extremely poor, with clear bias in how projects are assigned and promotions are handled. The same individuals keep getting opportunities, while others are left out. If you end up on the bench, you're blamed or even bullied for it. Your interests and preferences don’t matter—what matters is blindly agreeing to whatever your manager assigns, only then do you stay in their good books. Over time, it feels like they deliberately push you toward resigning, so they can avoid the accountability of formally letting an employee go (due to labor laws in the region)

      Can be great, but lacks consistent strategy

      Principal project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good team culture and work-life balance if you have the right management chain - Remote work if you're not close to an office - Leadership transparency and willingness to hear feedback

      Cons

      - Constant re-orgs without strategy are destabilizing - Manager pool is very mixed in terms of experience and skill - Poor role definition can lead to surprises at quarterly review time - Layoffs/reductions have had a chilling effect - Lower salaries compared to competitors
