Pros

Used to be known for good work life balance. In some pockets having very dependable managers.

Cons

Getting infested with lots of politics with new management hires. Replacing low wage workers with high wage workers due to nepotism.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
