Pros
Some great colleagues, was able to provide real value for my Team. I actually used the Product that they developed to do my job and based on that hands on experience was constantly trying to improve said Product for their Customers. To that end, I was enabled to Walk the Talk (rather than merely paying lip service to goals that never otherwise materialize). I can say I am walking away with actual knowledge and experience gained rather than being simply drained from all the political nonsense that otherwise goes on in every corporate environment that has reached it's peak and is heading in decline.
Kontras
Value that was provided was not recognized by Leadership in the form of promotions, raises but work/contributions were absorbed by Leadership so that Leadership could be promoted. Much lip service paid to equal opportunities and diversity but no real action to support this. Middle Management heavy with skills focused on 'maintaining their jobs' amidst routine (quarterly) re-orgs wherein 'redundant roles' were eliminated. Much lip service is paid towards 'career goals' and supporting 'growth' but absent in evidence.
