Pros
Some of the employees were really great to work with. Some leaders are good mentors.
Cons
The leader demonstrates a toxic mindset toward work. While there is frequently emphasis on the importance on research, established research on the importance of flexibility, autonomy and work life balance is consistently ignored. The organisation follows regressive policies like sandwich leave, offers no flexibility for work from home, enforces strict lunch timings and fosters a culture of scolding and demeaning employees. Decision making is highly centralised with only one key decision maker, which makes the likelihood of any progressive change extremely low. Additionally, there is an implicit gender bias within the organisation, reflected in problematic statements about female employees and regressive views on the roles and capabilities of men vs women.
