Pros
Free snacks and that’s about it
Cons
- The culture feels very controlling. Assigned seating and constant monitoring make it feel like you’re being watched instead of trusted to do your job. - There’s a strong “butts in seats” mentality rather than focusing on actual results. They went from fully remote during Covid, to come to the office if you want, and then they started mandating you come into office more and more. It’s up to 3-4 days in person now. Wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes 5 days in person this year. - Management tends to micromanage, which can be exhausting and demoralizing over time. - The environment can feel more like school than a professional workplace. Sometime it feels like high school with all the drama spearheaded by 30-50 year olds that should be acting their age. -Low morale in many teams. People tend to keep their heads down rather than feel energized. -High turnover in certain roles, which should be a signal to leadership that something in the culture isn’t working.
