Avantages
The union is there to protect workers. It's remote Some middle managers are genuinely interested in supporting their direct reports.
Inconvénients
Leadership has no clear direction, especially for those who work on products. Decisions are not communicated clearly, often management's response to questions is unclear, feels like a politician hitting inspirational talking points rather than actually communicating. People who actually work on day-to-day issues are not properly compensated, while those who don't contribute continue to fail upward. No investment in peoples careers, stagnation is common. Never recovered from layoffs. Extremely top down organization. Leaders say what you do, and you do it, discussion or feedback is not welcome. Uses antiquated technology and practices. Somehow, the organization backslid into waterfall methodologies from agile
