Pros

nothing good can come from such an supported jealous manager

Cons

lack of guidance as there seems to be insufficient direction provided to us, which affects our ability to meet our goals same as the limited support/no support as many of us feel unsupported in our roles, which impacts morale and productivity. plus the absence of future planning as the manager expect us to leave the company anyhow so why bother trying to lift you up (who knows you might take away their shine) and they make it difficult for us to align our efforts with the company's goals. with of course the culture of jealousy regarding employee achievements, which discourages collaboration and team spirit (manager is jealous of an employee) one important aspect is bias and favoritism as decisions are influenced by favoritism, which undermines fairness and is leading to a toxic work environment and with the current management style I feel that frustrations are taken out on me/my colleagues, which affects the overall atmosphere.

Pros

The most important to mention is human approach from managers and also from other employees and it´s really noticeable. They are trying to get rid of toxicity in the company which is more than appreciated. There are a lot of opportunities to grow and learn, when you are ambitious and hard-working - it´s seen. Great benefits and they are keep coming + telework.

Cons

Limited telework, however in special situation there is occasional work from home.
