Pros

The people - Many of the entry level/worker bees were some of the best friends I ever met. If you were under the right manager, they were very keen on training you for new skills. Not much else, though.

Cons

Management. The executive staff created a culture where people were too afraid to say anything other than "yes." This just set up people to fail, and often heads would roll for the smallest mistake. But as long as you were not in the immediate path of the exec team, you might be okay. Unfortunately, it just wasn't a healthy environment to be in at all.

Lovely people all trying to do the right thing.

No real collaboration at the senior level. Vision is not clear, and not always aligned. Inconsistent decision making.
