Pros

- Decent pay compared to other similar roles.

Cons

- Top-down culture - Micromanagement is openly encouraged by the CEO. - Micromanagement in long run killed creativity as it has the opposite effect with bright talent. - Designers are afraid of speaking up in product reviews even when they get stupid feedback from senior management. It seems like the company hired top talent and ruined their craftsmanship. - Feedback is often given in a demeaning and unprofessional way. Senior management really needs to grow up. - Too many hands spoil the broth.
