Pros

Toxic positivity means you’ll master the art of pretending everything’s fine

Cons

This company burns you out and discards you. Leadership is selfish, demanding unpaid overtime while offering no work-life balance—expect constant pressure with zero regard for your well-being. Managers micromanage every move, ignoring your past experience like it’s irrelevant. They block growth, handing promotions to only the inner circle sycophants through blatant favoritism and nepotism. Toxic positivity papers over real issues, and their tone-deaf “keep smiling” attitude ignores your struggles. They fake a “great culture” with paid reviews and lies. Speak up about issues? Expect penalties and punishment, not solutions. New hires, run—this is a soul-crushing dead-end.

Pros

good team culture, ability to grow and focus on my professional goals, so far good life balance! I came with the BD transition and have been happy so far. It might be my team, as I feel incredibly supported.

Cons

Seems like not much transparency in things and clouds over our heads a lot of the time. A lot of anxiety about the future of the company and its employees
