Pros
1. Lots of opportunity for growth, autonomy, and ownership. You can really take a project and drive it forward to end, though it will take a lot of persistence. 2. They stepped up their salary bands in the last year or so making the work well work it 3. Never bored, there’s always something to create, change, or fix. 4. ELT/c level team is competent and I do trust them and their vision 5. The majority of my colleagues are solid people who really want to make things better and care about their jobs.
Cons
1. Middle management / heads of etc. are really problematic. They aren’t competent or are simply lazy. You’ll completely lift and drive an entire project and they’ll still somehow try and steal credit for it which I find very morally problematic. Additionally, they’re rude and entitled. This is known by the whole department though. They need a huge overhaul of these types of people and really get strong leaders with extensive experience in their subject matter. A little emotional intelligence wouldn’t hurt either. They’ve been here long enough, time to go. 2. The workload can be stressful, work life balance is not a value touted in my department at all. 3. Promotion structure is very messy. Woco has been trying to change this I think, but I think promotions aren’t led by a very organized team. A lot of information around this is outdated on their internal sites and their solution to this is 2 weeks before a cycle to have big info sessions. People care a lot about promotions, the people team should at least act they do too.
