Pros
there is not a single thing
Cons
I worked under a newly promoted team lead who was assigned to replace the former Head of Department. Instead of hiring someone with actual leadership experience, the company chose to promote another team lead—someone without any background in managing teams. She tends to follow whatever direction the newly appointed director gives her, without question or strategy, simply because she lacks the experience to lead independently.
Having spent four years at Metro may give her familiarity with the company, but it does not equate to being qualified to lead a team effectively. As a result, the team dynamics have significantly deteriorated. It's clear the company prioritizes cost-cutting over competence, expecting one person to do the work of ten without adequate support or compensation.
Unfortunately, this toxic environment is driven by insecurity among underqualified individuals who feel threatened by capable team members. In a healthier organization, many of them including Janna and Amruta would likely struggle to secure similar roles based on merit. Yet at Metro, they are rewarded with promotions.
If you're fortunate, you'll find a way out of this dysfunctional setup and you will find smart people that inspire each other !
