Pros

Can't really name many. Most employees are good people who are friendly and committed.

Cons

The place is being led by someone with a God complex, and how your day goes is depends on how they wake up that morning. If you're not in their good graces you are against them and they will find a way to get you out while still smiling and pretending they are your biggest fan. Really creepy and a bit sadistic. Those of us who have lasted have turned into yes men and women. No other way to survive in this place.

The management created this terrible illusion

Pros

Working in teams was good

Cons

The management creates this terrible illusion of creative passion, service, and fair treatment, but they're all fake! What they actually do was relentlessly pressure employees to do the work even if it's unreasonable, brutal, and stressful.
