      Pros

      Nice offices, remote flexibility, open space

      Cons

      Controlling, dictators that say they are going agile but have no ability to let teams or people self-organize. Expected to work around the clock to produce endless status reports, decks, and spreadsheets for all different groups and leaders that in the end of the day provide no value besides satisfying self-serving needs of individuals in the need to control their domain and have the loudest voice or say.

      Unfortunate, antiquated, male driven company

      Pros

      Work from home flexibility, managers are too concerned with upper mgmt and their own numbers too micromanage and worry about you.

      Cons

      Extremely male driven environment. NO respect for women. CEO isn’t aware of what happens at ground level. Upper mgmt not in touch with “smaller positions.” Outsourced almost all customer service to out of the country. More work, less pay. Certain managers hire their buddies, not necessarily who should be hired and who is needed. Certain managers also blatantly disregard, disrespect and demean their employees; upper mgmt, HR, etc in the know about some of it and nothing is done.
