Pros

My current team is good

Cons

Upper management is totally disconnected from the real needs and challenges of the teams doing the core work. There is a strong push for high performance, but without the modern tools, empathy, or strategies that enable people to thrive. They not ever listen, adapt or evolve, but say this is at their core values. They should learn the basic: A sustainable performance comes from a well-supported, heard and valued employees.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
