Cons
My experience was defined by significant ethical and cultural concerns. Leadership behavior and decision‑making often lacked transparency and consistency, creating trust and alignment challenges across the organization. I observed pressure to support narratives that did not align with regulatory expectations or my professional standards, which raised serious governance issues. The culture frequently felt exclusionary and unsupportive of diverse voices, contributing to a toxic and unsustainable environment. For professionals who value integrity, accountability, and an inclusive workplace, this environment may be extremely difficult.
