Pros
Working with a dedicated and very hard working team. Some of my fondest memories are the projects that I had the privilege to lead with an amazing group of professionals. I miss all of the teammembers I had the honor to manage or simply interact with on a daily basis. This dedicated and tireless team (not senior management) is the reason for this organization's success and I am proud to say that I was a part of this team.
Cons
Stifling culture that is rife with politics and "punishment" for any mistake. The leadership team is ruled with an iron hand by the CEO who has two personas...one of loving, kind and patient leader for the general team and the other (true?) side of vindictive, cruel, impatient dictator who will exact every ounce of revenge against any member of management team who crosses or questions him. His retirement at the end of March cannot come soon enough and hopefully the organization with finally be freed from this tyrant. A new leader will do much to heal this organization and lead it into the 21st century.
