Pros

Excellent processes. Some very good colleagues. Has lots of potential but they keep rewarding the wrong behaviors, not the intended ones.

Cons

C-suite management stopped caring about anything but stock price. They talk a good game, but company culture went downhill fast. So what happens when raises aren't allowed without an interview for a new position? Toxic office politics. Extremely low morale. Constant reductions in pay and benefits despite continually banking record profits actually have a very predictable impact on the work force. Who knew?

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
