Worse experience of my life

Pros

I found that most people there were friendly and the culture was pretty good. The location was a bit difficult based on the time of day.

Cons

Middle management and below is horrible. They treat their people terribly. I have never been treated so poorly in my entire professional career.

Pros

Some good people with experience who want to do their job well. The company could be on the verge of huge growth.

Cons

Management is not accessible. There are no open door policies. Long timers do not actually have experience in their role and/or level. I've heard several people with the same experience: "We need your to help get us to the next level". However once in the role, status quo is the desired state. And if you don't agree, you are bullied into submission.
