Recently confusing

Pros

interesting problems to solve. Never boring. Kind colleagues

Cons

I've been feeling discouraged lately about the direction the company is taking. We used to have a great company culture, but recently it has become more stressful and toxic, leading to many people leaving. Upper management keeps attributing the problems to the bad economy, but I believe the issues run much deeper. The company I knew a few years ago is no longer the same, and I’m starting to doubt whether I still enjoy working here. There hasn’t been much career development lately, and the projects and promotion opportunities were significantly better in the past. The recent layoffs have only added to the uncertainty.

Pros

Can't think of anything specific.

Cons

I’m not quite sure what the strategy is here... if there is one! It feels like upper management threw the steering wheel to middle management and said, "Have fun!" The result? Micro-management galore! You’ll feel like a contestant on a reality show where every episode is about finding new ways to create stress and ignore work-life balance. The work environment? Let’s say, you can expect a lot of feedback… as long as it’s about the mistakes you’ve made. Constructive criticism? Not so much. They seem to be importing bad management practices from different places. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone unless you enjoy a confusing work environment and bad cultural practices.

Terrible

Pros

Fully remote company, a lot of lower level people at the company were fantastic.

Cons

Upper management was terrible with no clear vision for the future. No raises during my entire tenure and once free benefits started to cost money. Zero work life balance in my department, constant slacks and emails well after 7PM
