Terrible Management

Pros

Fun team and good clients

Cons

Terrible management that have no idea how the day to day operations of the business work. Budgets are completely unrealistic and when any issues are flagged with management they continuously brush you off with no attempt to rectify or justify the decisions made. Ultimately when expectations aren't met the lower level employees are to blame which has caused extremely high staff turnover

Pros

The individuals within your direct team are truly exceptional. They bring a high level of skill, creativity, and dedication to every project, consistently going above and beyond to deliver quality work. There's a strong sense of collaboration and camaraderie, where everyone is not only focused on their own responsibilities but also fully supportive of each other’s success. The team's ability to tackle challenges together, share knowledge, and maintain a positive and motivated atmosphere makes working with them a rewarding experience. Their passion, expertise, and commitment to excellence are what really set the team apart and make it such a pleasure to be a part of.

Cons

Upper management is not effectively supporting the team and is creating significant challenges in terms of leadership, decision-making, and communication. Their approach often feels disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the work, which can result in missed opportunities and unnecessary obstacles for those at the ground level. There seems to be a lack of clear direction, and when issues arise, the responses are often delayed or insufficient, which negatively impacts morale and productivity. In many cases, the decisions made by upper management seem out of touch with the needs and feedback from the team, leading to frustration and a sense that leadership is not adequately considering the impact of their actions on those they oversee.
