Avantages
Compensation and benefits were competitive. There’s plenty of opportunity to make an impact quickly, because the company is often desperate for results. Some colleagues were sharp, motivated, and genuinely wanted to build better outcomes for customers.
Inconvénients
Leadership instability is constant. Teams are built up, torn down, and left understaffed, which leaves one person to manage the work of what used to be entire teams. Directors often lack expertise in the areas they oversee and push responsibility downward without providing real support. Culture is political and undermining. Leaders pit departments against each other and use performance reviews as a tool to push people out rather than develop them. HR protects the company, not employees. Documenting issues won’t protect you when leadership decides to move on. Workload is unsustainable, with zero empathy for life events or family responsibilities. Management ignores feedback about burnout and capacity. Success is defined by subjective skills rather than actual results, which creates an unhealthy and unfair work environment. Very little vision or long-term strategy. Instead, constant short-term pivots and power struggles.
