Pros

Employees are challenged constantly Good training and education

Cons

*They need serious management training. *mgmt does not stick up for their direct reports, sometimes throwing them under the bus to sr leads and owners of the firm *nothing is appreciated. And often criticized. Leads say they want you to have authority and empowerment but it’s just lip service. If you don’t do it their way it’s not good enough. *they say failure is ok. It’s not!
