Pros
The office itself was fine and the benefits were standard. Unfortunately, success in this job seemed to depend more on personal connections with leadership than actual performance.
Cons
• Favoritism was so deeply embedded that some people appeared completely unaware that everyone else was carrying twice the workload. • Career advancement happened behind closed doors for a select few while the rest of us met the same metrics and received nothing. • Raised concerns with HR and was essentially told to build better relationships with leadership, which felt like being told to join the inner circle or remain invisible. • The office became divided between the favored and the everyone else, and the difference had nothing to do with performance. • It came down entirely to connections. • Even when I delivered results that spoke for themselves, opportunities were handed to the same handful of people again and again. • This did not feel like a professional workplace. • It felt like a clique pretending to operate a company.
