Pros

Team members were very cool

Cons

This is in regards to a Microsoft Social Media contract. The leads on this team are THE WORST. A significant, high ranking member of the team, is a MAGA enthusiast who rarely (never) works 5 days a week, but will 100% expect you to account for 100% of your time, down to the minute. Do you want to work for someone who is literally never there on Fridays, but expects you to respond to a ping in less than a minute? Do you want to work for a team of "leaders" who are never there to answer questions, yet expect you to have all of the answers? Do you want to work on a team (minus leadership) of people who deeply care, but are deeply unhappy? I did not put team, in "quotes" because that is the only part of the situation that is legit, and they ALL WANT OUT. There is literally a SIDE CHAT ABOUT IT. It had to be made externally because the company cares more about incompetent leadership than its employees. Seriously, there is no order to this team, there is ABSOLUTELY NO LEADERSHIP on this team, and it is just the absolute worst place to work. I wrote a review recently that was deleted for confusing reasons, and that is why I am back. If you love and respect yourself, don't even consider working here. Take less money and actually enjoy your life. Unless you love being micromanaged and have expectations you CANNOT live up to with literally no support. Then, do you I guess.

Pros

Presently, there are limited positives to mention compared to what existed in years past. However, prior to the acquisition by its current parent company, the company boasted a remarkable culture and offered outstanding benefits tailored to remote work. Although the colleagues remain exceptional, doubts linger regarding the leadership within the organization.

Cons

The primary drawbacks include limited opportunities for personal development. The leadership's decision-making is dubious, as they appear indifferent to feedback from experienced colleagues who could offer valuable insights based on their tenure. In recent years, there has been a decline in performance-based rewards and deteriorating benefits. Long-serving employees have seen reductions in their PTO entitlements to accommodate new hires, reflecting a shift in priorities by senior management. While they care about diversity and inclusion, they don't actually give employees the time to contribute to this effort.
