Pros

The job requires no thought and it is easy to fake you way through the day.

Cons

There is no motivation in this job. Promotions, salaries, and bonus are based on time served and very little on actual skills. The salaries are a joke at this company and show no sign of improvement. There is daily emails and postings reminding you of whatever corporate bs management is trying to push. I can't emphasize enough how much working for this company sucks.

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
