Pros
The internal team, particularly those who have been with the company longer, are generally commendable colleagues. They are known for their proficiency, strong work ethics, and amiable nature, effectively balancing productivity with a sense of enjoyment in their work.
Cons
Disparities in benefits and compensation across different regions and teams have been noted, raising concerns about fairness and consistency within the company. There's an increasing tendency among managers and more senior contributors to engage in political maneuvering. Such actions are eroding the people-centric culture that was once a hallmark of our organization. This shift away from our core values not only impacts morale but also detracts from the inclusive and supportive environment we have striven to build. It appears that recent budget cuts may be influencing the hiring quality, leading to a noticeable difference in the competency levels between new hires and those who joined the team earlier. This shift in hiring standards impacts the overall effectiveness and the team dynamics. There are significant concerns regarding the competence of “LinkedIn suppliers” who provide support to internal employees. Their effectiveness and skill levels are, unfortunately, questionable and do not seem to meet the minimum standards.
