Vantaggi
1. Departments and teams collaborate. 2. Self-delvelopment is possible if YOU set yourself up for it (although this can be applied to any company you go to).
Svantaggi
1. Top Line Management - management doesn't understand employee job roles, nor do they listen to the needs of employees. Employees are constantly critiqued for irrational reasons. Minimal support from management. To be honest it feels like you're Manchester vs Liverpool out there. 2. Toxic working culture - toxic to no work culture. A perception is created that certain departments should "bring energy"to the company, but what is not understood is that culture is something employees have to believe. If top line management doesn't believe or instill culture, how can they expect employees to. Just like the saying goes - an apple rots from the inside. 3. Negative feedback loop - Employees are reinforced by negative feedback consistently. And it's not constructive. You will always be undermined by the negative feedback loop. 4. Lowers self-confidence - You can be excellent at what you do, you can be innovative, your team can agree with you, the market can support your insights. Handling constructive feedback is easy, but this isn't constructive feedback. It's gaslighting. Management will make you believe that "you" are the reason of X or X isn't working because your team did this and turn something that was actually a miscommunication on their behalf on to you. 5. Favouritism - all employees are not treated fairly. 6. Business strategy - attempting too many things at once in the hopes that something is going to succeed. Proactive doesn't exist, everything was reactive, and tasks are on the fly with zero consideration of their impact or goal. Whilst I am big on testing, reactiveness only results in all planning and attempted pro-active efforts to fall away if you don't have a goal in mind. The reason I decided to leave is that the business strategy became entirely unclear. Shooting blanks.
