Inconsistent Work-Life Experience: While flexibility exists, some teams operate like mini-prisons, with managers patrolling the halls and enforcing desk time in a way that brings morale to the lowest points.
Lack of Accountability for Bad Managers: Poor management often goes unchecked. Managers are not reviewed anonymously by their teams, and some truly problematic individuals remain in power without consequence.
No Feedback Loop: There are no regular satisfaction surveys or structured opportunities for employees to give honest, anonymous feedback. It feels like leadership doesn’t actually want to know how people are really doing.
Underperformance Not Addressed: Some employees who are clearly not a good fit stay in roles far too long, which can negatively impact team dynamics and productivity.

Final Thoughts
I came in with high expectations and, in many ways, the company has delivered. But I’m also surprised by the blind spots — especially around management accountability and the lack of a transparent feedback culture. There’s huge potential here, and I hope leadership chooses to listen more actively to make this a truly great place for everyone
