Prós
There are teams that collaborate brilliantly, which makes work genuinely enjoyable. If you’re fortunate to have a supportive manager, you can take on significant responsibility and gain valuable experience.
Contras
- Hidden agendas & politics everywhere, people focus on their career needs more than business needs. - People are given leadership responsibilities when they clearly lack any understanding of leading or/and people - Toxic work environment, leadership tends to equate title with competence, rather than achievements & actual expertise - No work at eye level: experts are not perceived as experts but as assistants and the managers know it best of course (why do you hire an expert though?!) - Firefighting all day long, this company is +5 years old! By now there should be company goals, team goals, a strategy. - No Benefits, the bare minimum of holiday days, 5 days per month home office -> No trust in employees - Senior Leadership employees micromanaging to the max, do not trust their teams, often you need to justify for how and why you work in a certain way - Concerns about harassment are not properly addressed, and leadership tends to side with their own rather than investigate thoroughly.
