Pros

Coworkers that understand where your coming from because they have to deal with the same problems.

Cons

A couple years ago this company felt like it was making progress to stepping into the modern times by understanding that style of work and life was changing. Now they have mandated that you must work in the office 3 days a week-most likely to increase to 5 again- which was a huge step back into the 1950s mindset and micro-managing. In a company where the majority of the day is spent in meetings-virtually, why must we drive to an office to do that? Having laid off up to 40% of a single department, all that work has been put on those that remain with an insulting pay increase that doesn’t cover a quarter of inflation let alone the increased cost of having to come into the office. In addition to the added work there is a complete shift in procedures that isn’t defined enough for project managers to successfully do their jobs or help their business partners understand it as well. The leadership responsible for answering the questions of employees don’t have the answers and only ever say “it’s still being worked on and developed”. Multiple employees don’t feel they know what they are suppose to be doing and there is no support from upper leadership. There is also no career path clearly defined and discussions with people leadership yield no clear objectives to work towards either for promotion.
