Cons based on my own personal opinion:
Micromanagement: Management behaviour leaned heavily towards micromanagement, and verged on bullying. Decision-making at the individual level was often hindered, with a constant need for approvals on even minor tasks. This limited autonomy felt restrictive and undermined productivity and confidence in employees’ abilities.
Misleading Conduct: There was a noticeable gap between the company’s stated goals and actual practices. While the organisation promoted transparency and open communication, there were instances where information was withheld, or situations were presented in a misleading manner.
Disconnected and Unrealistic Expectations: Leadership seemed somewhat disconnected from the realities of the projects and workload. The goals set were often ambitious to the point of being unrealistic, with little acknowledgment of the practical constraints that teams were facing. This “disconnect” between upper management and ground-level operations made it challenging to meet expectations and maintain morale.
