Pros

Accountability is lacking in most arenas, so it is a good place to coast so long as you are not looking to stay there forever. fringe benefits are reasonable for industry

Cons

out-of-touch management, peers are a 50/50 mix of greatest colleagues to have and ones that will not only throw you under the bus, but manufacture the bus that runs you over. inconsistency in pay, no rewards for individual performance (thus furthering the culture of lacking accountability)

Pros

Team members were wonderful, very talented and easy to work with. This was a new team being created and we all worked really hard to help

Cons

Promoting inexperienced people to positions they're not ready for, causing poor team morale and toxic work environment. Severe gap in senior leadership being held accountable for poor management, even with constant feedback from the whole team expressing their frustrations and concerns.
