Pros

Some of the people. However, some of them have been there far too long and lack the experience of knowing how proper functioning companies work.

Cons

Management, simple as that. Lets start with the CEO who is a nasty bully, he instills fear through public beratements and destructive and cruel emails to get his own way despite management and employees (who have much more applicable experience than him) offering their thoughts. He conveys the air of a used car salesman who is down on his luck because as you look closer you will see holes in his shoes and a frayed collar on his shirts. The CFO is an overpaid crybaby who refuses to see anything outside of current practices. Don't even try to go to HR, they are useless.

We’re disappointed to hear about your experience working with us. It runs counter to our values and is not aligned with the workplace culture we strive to create for employees. We encourage you to speak with the HR team so that we can better understand your experience and address your concerns.

Pros

Decent and friendly co-workers, all have valuable knowledge and experience

Cons

Executive management overly concerned with micromanaging. Management / team cliques result in some groups getting well protected and insulated, others overly exposed and criticized.
