Pros

The salary was good and they provided you the option to relocate somewhere where they have an office.

Cons

The company operates in a highly bureaucratic manner, where discussions about "office politics" are all too common. Despite advocating for strategic discourse, the focus remains elsewhere. Role definitions are vague, and there's a glaring absence of a coherent change management strategy. Micromanagement pervades the culture, overshadowing any semblance of effective leadership. Regrettably, this has been my most unsatisfactory work experience, and I cannot in good conscience recommend it.
