Pros

Honestly... nothing. I have nothing to be grateful for.

Cons

1. All the stupid people get promoted but anyone with an ounce of competence never progress. This creates a work culture and environment where stupidity and incompetence is rife. 2. Poor pay 3. Workload is poorly managed. People consistently demand for things and give unrealistic expectations. 4. Diversity and Inclusion means nothing. Just hollow and vacuous statements. 5. They treat the people that they like very well, but if you're not in some golden circle, you aren't allowed to do the same things that those in the circle are allowed to do. 6. Snakes everywhere. 7. Toxic environment - you can always tell conversations are happening behind your back but nobody says anything to your face.
