Pros

Competitive compensation, generous benefits. There are some good people - Unfortunately, they are the minority.

Cons

Worst executive leadership I've ever encountered. Environment that rewards bad behavior. Gross favoritism - you have to be part of "the fam" to go anywhere. Lack of ethics in decision making is pervasive. In my time here, the only thing I have learned is how not to treat people.

Pros

Decent Salary, Benefits, Most of the team was good to work with.

Cons

Advancement tied to internal alliances rather than merit: Career growth often seems influenced more by aligning with specific internal groups or personalities than by demonstrated performance. This creates an atmosphere where favoritism can overshadow objective evaluation, making it difficult for employees who prefer to focus on delivering quality work rather than navigating internal politics. Unprofessional behavior inadvertently rewarded: The culture can sometimes reinforce behaviors that are unprofessional or counterproductive. Individuals who are more aggressive or disruptive may receive attention or influence, while those who prioritize collaboration, respect, and consistent performance often see far less recognition. This dynamic can erode team morale and contribute to a sense of inequity. Inconsistent and unclear leadership communication: Direction from leadership is often fragmented or shifts without clear explanation, leaving teams unsure about priorities, responsibilities, and long-term goals. This lack of clarity can lead to rework, misalignment across departments, and a general feeling of instability, making it difficult to plan or perform effectively.
