Pros

Interesting industry. Potential if management can "healthily" mature.

Cons

Values such as integrity, strong work ethics, in-depth/detailed engagement, and dedication are being replaced with a focus on "looking good" and strategizing to "position". Newly introduced performance ranking system combined with staff-disengaged management is driving top performers/high-value employees to competitors and other industries. Performance ranking system also naturally encourages management to either retain low performers or issue low ratings to high performers to fill in blanks on rating scale. Expectation is that company tenure will be negatively impacted by costly attrition as those choosing to "work" instead of "position" and "self-promote" seek employment elsewhere.

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
