Pros
The work is challenging and meaningful. I feel valued and well compensated.
Kontras
Leadership is arrogant and refuses to even acknowledge that they might be wrong. This has been displayed most recently with their handling of COVID, because they refuse to acknowledge that we can be successful working from home in a pinch. Therefore, they are going to be requiring us to return to the office despite public health authorities encouraging businesses to allow work from home. They've been putting their efforts into silencing employees rather than trying to address our concerns in a respectful manner. "Authoritarian" is perhaps a strong word here, but there's no denying the similarities in how internal dialogue is being handled right now and how free speech is handled in authoritarian states. Management does not do a good job at load balancing work, so folks who have a history of success but aren't good at negotiating their workload will often end up with too much work.
