Pros

Used to be a lot, now there are none

Cons

New management has no idea what they are doing. The team is unengaged and leaving en masse. Absolutely no trust between the team and management. Don't just avoid at all costs, run as fast as you can away from these people.

Pros

My team, they made it easier to manage the toxic work environment. And we all resigned around the same time

Cons

They let go of most of the managers on my team because they went against management's REALLY BAD decisions towards the customers. CEO is a toxic man-child who doesn't like to be questioned. They treat the customers like they are cash-cows. No integrity, they will withhold your money for a service you want to cancel and say it's "refund policy". If you are a "yes-man", then you might get promoted. But if you dare question Mark, you wouldn't last long. You'll be fired for some dumb reason. This happened in my team. One time were owed salaries, and the CEO basically said not to bother him because some people in the team asked for updates on when we would get paid. He said we shouldn't bombard the Slack channel with questions about OUR OWN MONEY and he would let us know when we will get paid. The audacity. Almost everybody I started with in the company left in less than 1.5 years, and I didn't last long there either. That should tell you something. Ignore ALL the positive reviews, they're from the "YES-MEN". Unless things have changed in the last few months, which I highly doubt, no person with integrity or self-respect will leave a positive review here.
