Pros

When I started, people treated each other as a family.

Cons

New management expects everyone to work twice as many hours on the promise that "someday things will return to normal", without any respect to the employee's time or life. Employer routinely lies to the customer, subcontractors, and employees. Management has created a toxic work environment with no incentive to work hard, but maintains power by being extremely retaliatory. Tis mindset led to some extremely short term gains, but eventually pushed out nearly all of the new talent in the software department for various reasons. Any new hire will be entering an impossible to succeed situation, with no ability or incentive to turn things around.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
