Complete lack of real leadership

Pros

A lot of really smart, talented people.

Cons

Leadership has shown recently that they do not use their own leadership principles and they do not care about the wellbeing of their employees. Do not expect leadership at any level here to care about you.

Pros

- Money - Co-Workers are super talented - Products are interesting

Cons

- Leaders are dishonest and hypocritical. The "leadership principles" apparently don't apply to the S-Team - Getting promoted is difficult. I get nothing but positive feedback, outperform others at my level, but that's not enough. you need what is essentially a thesis defense and all the burden is on you. - I was hired as a remote worker, received the highest evaluation rating possible in my performance review, but am being forced back into office just to dial into meetings bc my team is distributed. - Multiple members of my team have had to go on medical leave due to being overworked
