Pros

Great people that try to do the best they can. Stress level and work complexity is really low.

Cons

Leadership: just awful. You get surprised everyday at how low human beings can become. It almost doesn’t seem real and the stuff you see happen, you can’t even think of. Culture: Ruthless. A few executives will literally do anything to save themselves. There is an evident lack of trust right from the top. Employee morale is very low. Work/day to day: The only constant is change. Execs and leadership have no strategy or what they consider strategy is throwing as much things on paper and checking boxes to say it’s been accomplished, no matter the ROI, quantity trumps quality everyday of the week. Amenities: I’d say 1/4 of the rooms/work stations don’t have functioning lights. There are mice running around the office, mice droppings are very common - including on your desk. Overall extremely outdated.
