Teams are great but upper management is so out of touch
Pros
The people that I work with on a day-to-day basis were very nice and supportive. If I were just rating my team and department, it would be a 4/5 stars.
Cons
Upper management, specifically the C-suite, is very out of touch. They often hire their friends who are not qualified to lead teams and sometimes, don't actually have expertise in the department they're leading. They can't take criticism, and I've seen people around me get let go because they shared some constructive criticism or completely valid disagreements about the quality of work. And once you have a target on your back, they'll do anything to find a way to get rid of you (seen from others around me). Upper management seems to take this personally and can't separate their professional and personal demeanor. They will also use fear tactics to silence others if they have any criticisms as well. The company is also full of nepotism outside of upper management as well, often at the expense of qualified employees who already work there, just to replace them with some c-suite's nephew. Also, micro management was a huge issue where you often question how they have so much time to care about what an entry-level employee is doing. There's also no work-life balance, with many of the upper management expecting you to work the same hours as them (on weekends, overtime, etc.). The amount of unprofessionalism and inability to self-reflect is insane.
