Pros

Great Space, Good Coffee, Some Great colleagues, decent benefits.

Cons

I left metropolis because they have grown quickly, are undergoing a lot of changes. The entire staff lacks clear roles and responsibilities. I felt unsupported in my role, had no direction or guidance from management, and conversations about these things were met with negative attitudes and apathy. Additionally incompetent Executives and management who offer no clear direction, and lack proper communication skills. Leadership using 'For Dummies' books to plan growth opportunities, no guidance or feedback offered, and absolutely no follow up after reviews. I did not feel like I could be as impactful/successful as I strive to be in that environment, and despite my best efforts it quickly became a toxic environment.
