Pros

Genuine, real colleagues I enjoy working with

Cons

Sr leadership out of touch with reality. They don't understand or want to understand the common view. For example, with recent RTO, "I am energized by working with colleagues in office" comments with no allowance to their privileged positions (living close to the office, extremely well paid, spouse taking care of family, etc) as compared to the majority (living far from office due to housing cost, paid less due to junior roles, both parents working, etc). Feeling like I have to be *fake* everyday and act like it's all good when the ship is sinking.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
