Pros

- teammates - paygrade I think that’s it

Cons

- unfair conditions among the teams, one team has flexible HO, the other forced to go in - horrible people management, no one takes your feedback seriously - manager can talk bad things about you behind your back to your teammates, pretending to be very professional on the surface - upper management is probably well aware of things, but just chooses not to listen
