Pros

Really nothing positive to say at all

Cons

Inconsistent treatment of employees as some have special privileges, while others do not such as working remotely while living only a few miles from the office. Employees are expected to accept decisions without question, and many are afraid to voice concerns because they fear retaliation or damage to their careers. The return-to-office mandate is another major source of frustration. Requiring employees to be in the office four days per week should not be described as a hybrid work environment. The company successfully operated remotely during COVID while continuing to grow and deliver results. The physical presence is necessary for collaboration rings hollow when many teams have already proven they can collaborate effectively regardless of location. physical presence. The Implementation organization previously had strong leaders who trusted their teams, encouraged professional growth, and created a positive culture. Since leadership has reverted back to one individual with close personal ties to the CEO there is is constant berating of employees leading to a toxic, hostile work environment. Within another area the leadership team is allowing outside partners to drive the business and harass and berate employees. The leadership team does not push back or support team members. People will not address concerns with HR as they are afraid and HR does not have the power to do anything.

Pros

Exposure to complex client environments

Cons

Leadership communication can feel dismissive and inconsistently supportive. There are concerns around fairness in how opportunities and expectations are applied, with perceived favoritism in certain areas. Career growth is unclear, with limited visibility into progression paths. Open communication can feel discouraged, which impacts transparency and feedback. The environment can feel siloed, with uneven alignment across teams and at times a competitive or fragmented dynamic rather than consistent collaboration. The role was originally presented as remote, but this changed abruptly to a mandatory in-office requirement with very short notice. This created significant challenges for employees who had been hired under remote expectations or who were not based close to the office. After this change, there was increased emphasis on monitoring in-office attendance (e.g., badge/fob tracking) rather than focusing on output or work quality. This contributed to a perception of surveillance over trust-based performance management. In-office attendance was also perceived to be linked to performance outcomes such as bonuses or job security, which increased pressure during the transition. Escalation and issue resolution processes often felt focused on assigning blame rather than resolving root causes, making it harder to raise issues or get support. Work expectations frequently extended beyond standard working hours, impacting work-life balance and creating an expectation of constant availability.
