      Toxic senior leadership, zero inclusion, and no respect for experience - Manager CAI Employee Review

      Pros

      Remote work was the only real upside. A few coworkers were genuinely good people doing their best in a chaotic environment.

      Cons

      Leadership is reactive, power-hungry, and disconnected from the work. Promotions are based on politics, not competence. It’s not about results or expertise—it’s about saying the right thing to the right person at the right time. Some of the least experienced, least effective people were moved into roles they clearly weren’t ready for, just because they played along. Experienced professionals are brought in, ignored, and drained. Leaders take credit for their work and offer no real support. Feedback is discouraged unless it's praise. Innovation dies in the endless layers of approval and indecision. There is no real inclusion. It’s a performative checkbox. People who don’t conform are quietly pushed out.

      Pros

      - Opportunity to work on interesting, high-impact projects. - Flexible work environment that supports work/life balance. - Many talented and knowledgeable colleagues across the organization.

      Cons

      - Leadership dynamics can feel misaligned, particularly when less experienced teams are driving decisions that impact more tenured professionals. - Career growth feels unclear and, at times, unattainable without the "right" visibility or relationships. - Cross-functional friction is common, and navigating disagreement does not always feel supported or safe. - Compensation and advancement do not consistently reflect market expectations or individual contributions. - Organizational priorities can feel disconnected from the day-to-day experience of employees.
