Pros

Up until 2023, it was a great and fun place full of intelligent people who generally about sustainability (beyond having ESG in their job title). Despite the (very) low pay levels, the company culture made it all worthwhile.

Cons

Top level has lost its way, where switching directions is like a quarterly tradition, with no consideration of its impact on the workforce, who are left in perpetual uncertainty. Mid-level managers think about meeting their own KPIs or ticking boxes for pretence rather than listening to their teams and leading by example. Office politics is the name of the game now, so forget about meaningful collaborations and insightful feedback. Typical toxic corporate jungle. Any suggestions for improvement are bound to face a rigid structure that by design is not innovation-friendly. Employee feedback is collected, but its value is nullified by a lack of action. Criticism, regardless of how valid, is consistently brushed aside, from middle management to the top. Worst of all, the parent company and the new leadership couldn't care less about sustainability; profit is all that matters. This shift not only poisons the corporate culture but also degrades the products, offering little value compared to competitors. From being a market leader, it looks like in a year, most of its services won't even be competitive.
