**Cons**
Workload expectations and project priorities can shift frequently, often without clear alignment across leadership, which can make planning and role clarity challenging. Communication around decision-making and prioritization could be more transparent to better support employees and reduce unnecessary stress.
Leadership consistency can vary across teams. At times, it may feel that management selection emphasizes internal relationships or familiarity over demonstrated leadership or technical expertise, which can contribute to inconsistent management styles and uneven support for staff. Greater emphasis on leadership development, clear expectations, and transparent selection criteria could strengthen team functioning and employee confidence.
Support for employees requiring accommodations or additional workplace flexibility, including those with disabilities, felt inconsistent. While policies may exist, implementation and day-to-day support can vary depending on leadership and project context. Greater emphasis on proactive accessibility, manager training, and consistent application of accommodation practices would improve inclusion and employee well-being.
Opportunities for collaboration and shared workload support were at times limited, which may contribute to burnout and reduced morale. Additional investment in clear communication, equitable workload distribution, and supportive leadership practices would strengthen the overall work environment.
Pay is well below market value and promotions are hard to achieve.
