Pros

Some good people genuinely trying to make a difference. Decent benefits and hybrid work policy.

Cons

Career Progression is Effectively Frozen: Promotions have become rare to nonexistent, with leadership quietly shelving development plans. Internal mobility is heavily restricted — no matter how qualified or motivated you are, you’re likely to be told to “wait” indefinitely. Toxic Management Culture: Feedback is rarely acted on, and decisions are often driven by internal politics rather than merit. Management can be dismissive, especially when employees raise valid concerns about growth, structure, or fairness. High performers are either leaving or quietly disengaging. There’s a noticeable morale decline, and most people are just “coasting” until they find their next job.
