Pros
The benefits package was decent enough. A few people there are genuinely good at what they do, though most have moved on.
Cons
I took this job thinking I'd have real ownership and actual autonomy — turned out that was just words on the job posting. Everything required multiple approval layers and constant check-ins that made it abundantly clear nobody actually trusted me, which is honestly pretty insulting when you've been doing this for years. You'd bring something to them, they'd want revisions without ever really explaining why, then ask you to redo it again, and it's like listening to someone hear what you said but completely miss the point. The freedom I supposedly had in the role didn't match anything in reality, and by month six I'd completely given up trying to prove myself because it was never going to be enough anyway. It's just exhausting being managed like you're some junior hire who needs constant oversight.
