Pros
Some nice colleagues. A good place to learn what not to do.
Kontras
At first glance, this place seems decent, but beneath the surface, it’s an absolute shambles. Leadership is completely disconnected, and HR is one of the worst offenders more interested in office politics and self-preservation than actually supporting employees. There’s no real accountability, just a culture of covering up and passing the buck. The hours are relentless, with no regard for burnout. Corporate leadership (not to be confused with divisional leadership) is too busy pandering to private equity owners to notice or care about the dysfunctional state of the business. Layoffs are constant, policies change on a whim, and transparency is non-existent. Their sole focus is securing a lucrative exit, but anyone outside their little bubble can see that the big payoff will never come, nor should it, given the way they operate. Speak up, and you’ll be sidelined or ignored. Rogue managers are given free rein to act without oversight, with HR either turning a blind eye or, in some cases, making matters worse. Raise a concern, and you might as well paint a target on your back. The dysfunction runs deep, and leadership has no interest in fixing it. Proceed with caution.
