Pros
Senior leadership I met during interviews seemed strong and engaged.
The company’s broader direction appears solid.
Some talented people across the organization.
Cons
The role was not what was described during the hiring process — major disconnect between what was promised and what the job actually was.
Direct leadership was a major issue: communication was unclear, collaboration was minimal, and micromanagement was constant.
Leadership behaviors — including reluctance to manage and speaking negatively about company direction and other leaders — undermined trust and made the environment unstable.
There was a significant gap between the strong leadership I saw at the top and the lack of leadership happening at the team level.
The environment wasn’t set up for autonomy, trust, or meaningful contributions.
