Friendly work environment but questionable management practices

Pros

I worked in IT Services. Benefits are you can work from home twice per week and can leave office early every Wednesday and Friday. There is no micro management, friendly environment and bosses are generally good.

Cons

The bosses act good and they think their employees are stupid. Heard a colleague asked for a transfer but the senior management back stabbed her and blocked the move. There is a group including directors and they promoted people in this group. They have the practice of hiring people to implement projects so that the directors can achieve their KPI. Once finish, they will ask them to go.
