Pros
Decent enough pay. Colleagues tend to be intelligent.
Cons
Lacking career planning means nobody ever moves up or sideways in this company; you need to get schooled by yourself entirely, nothing is initiated by management/HR/organisation. Same goes for pay. If you don't ask, you wil never get a decent pay raise. Everyone just smiles and then looks the other way when serious problems are addressed in meetings. There are tons and tons of organisational issues. I seriously wonder if management even understands the tech that goes in the products that make the company money. Upper management has been promising the heavens for years, then kicks out essential workers, leaving the rest to wonder how on earth we should move on. Then at some point VPs and other high level executives will get replaced or resign, some new "I'm going to make a change" person is appointed.. and... nothing changes. Politics politics politics, and a culture beyond repair.
