Pros

Few pros, but salary and bonus structure is competitive.

Cons

Leadership strategies are not shared throughout the teams, poor cross functional team work, many employees/managers withhold information to get ahead and step over people. No work-life balance very common to see people working in the office past 8pm daily or working 10-14+ hours a day.

Pros

they gave a generous severance package. They kept a few of the cultural things but only after a lot of complaining.

Cons

They wouldn't need a generous severance package if they knew what they were doing. You don't buy a company, kill off three quarters of the work force as redunancies, and then expect there to be any company left.
