Pros
- Direct manager and my VP was supportive, transparent and smart. - Lots of freedom to experiment and grow in my role. - Good pay and benefits.
Cons
- The transition from fully remote to 5 day RTO was handled very poorly by senior leadership, and the way they're responding to people's very loud and clear disapproval and concern is even worse. - Lack of transparency and honesty. Everyone knows the reasons given for policy changes or attempts at efficiency via AI are double-speak. For example, just because the Zoom AI can summarize our meeting notes doesn't mean you should gut your Project Management Offices. PM's do so much more than simply summarize a meeting and send out notes to people. What a lack of wisdom and understanding! - Rigid policies that attempt to control employees in ways that don't contribute to productivity, efficiency, or innovation. - Old school mentality from Michael Dell and his direct reports. They truly don't seem to know how to have a dialogue. What I mean by that is "professional", polished (aka fake) and sanitized messaging doesn't work anymore. People need and expect honesty. Authenticity. Not reading from a prompt and manufactured hype. Gross.
