Potential to be great, but poorly mismanaged

Pros

Lots of smart, fun people. Catered lunches 2x / week. Healthy snacks and an open, sunny office. Pay scale is great if you don't mind having zero work/life balance to enjoy it or getting openly degraded from time to time because management needs a scapegoat.

Cons

Lots of recent churn due to poor management promoting needless competition between and within departments. Work hours are 10-12 hours but without the fun culture it supposedly used to be. The inability to keep good employees leads to a constant stream of new people. Yet no good on-boarding adds even more unhappy new workers and stresses existing teams. In addition, there is no clear vision for what is going on because the new management is too busy fluffing their own feathers to corporate to communicate across the company. Egos rampant without any strong leadership.

Pros

Can't think of any. At any other place I'd comment the perks but here, it's so toxic, I could care less.

Cons

I've never been so embarrassed to work for a company before. It's actually the premise of a very bad sitcom where everything bad that can happen, does. Or a cheesy horror film. But the bloodshed and splatter is internal. Check out the turnover rates. I've never worked someplace where everytime you meet someone new from another department, they almost burst into tears about how they're been treated. Until now. I've never seen so many people so distraught at once. This stuff is shady. They need NBC to step in here, not that they could really fix it unless they cleaned house. And God help you if you've been harassed or discriminated against (which is many). Because ain't nobody gonna help you. Powers that be enjoy watching employees cry. And they outright lie. I know most companies do but they're not even subtle. Every quarterly meeting or even staff meeting, employees want to make a drinking game of how many less we were told. Fandango, stop harassing your employees. Stop covering for each other when you break the law. Stop treating people different based on gender, age, and level of attractiveness. Stop throwing people under the bus to cover for yourselves. Stop driving people out. Stop driving people to insane asylums (but seriously, I think everyone there is in therapy). Stop demeaning your staff in public. Stop lying about advancement opportunities. Stop hiring and promoting only horrible people. Actually investigate things rather than sweeping under the rug.

Textbook Corporate Dysfunction

Pros

Nice office, free movies and probably many others if you happen to feed the cult of personality that currently reigns.

Cons

The culture has become the most non-people focused I've witnessed. No working processes to speak of. An HR dept that manages up and is more concerned with doing the bidding of execs than functioning as an advocate of the employee. No advancement of technology. Horrible interdepartmental communication. Unresolved corporate identity crises that go far beyond growing pains.
