Pros

Individual contributors work hard and are genuinely good people. Decent benefits package and salary compared to industry average.

Cons

- Culture is toxic — blame shifting and scapegoating are routine, making collaboration stressful. - Leadership struggles to stick to decisions; priorities change constantly without clear direction. - Broken processes are repeatedly reverted to, instead of addressing root causes or making valuable changes. - Accountability is rarely shared at the management level. - Processes are dictated by individuals without the technical expertise to understand their impact, which undermines productivity. - Development teams' input is routinely dismissed, even when it would prevent problems down the line.

Pros

Good benefits and pay. Very energetic teammates

Cons

Bad management, bordering on micro management. Lack of a Development and Project management framework. everything happens at the whims and fancies of the top level executive. No purpose or motivation for dev teams.
