Pros

Few good men are still there.

Cons

You will rarely find very good colleagues. A lot of bullies, politics, back talking, gossip, people say something but there intension are different. Incompetent Management that let group members fight. Sometimes, Management cant control bullies because they are politically connected and strong. Manager have no control of team. Show off with lunches/ free food to cover there lack of incompetent to get quarterly evaluation reviews.

Pros

Hands off management if no trouble or problems. Overtime if you don’t need a life.

Cons

Management clueless how to solve problems. Site run like Wild West saloon; no protocols. No accountability; employees lowest get blame. My manager addressed me with a racial slur and management circled the wagons. They hire relatives & there are cliques and factions.
