Pros

I think the company means well.

Cons

Too many layers of management that forces mid-level managers to be self-important. Upper management has no real insight into the projects as the middle managers spin their status's for their own personal agendas and upper management is left without a real view from the technical staff. There is also a corporate "culture" at the top that does not resonate with the billable staff doing the work. Profit sharing via shared company stock is disproportionately given to those with self-important titles vs. the actual billable staff serving the customers.

Toxic leadership

Pros

- Strong pay and competitive benefits - Flexible schedule - Company culture

Cons

- Leadership is openly hostile, rude, and disrespectful to employees. - Management lacks structure and is poorly defined - Management style can be overly critical and, at times, publicly corrective, creating a culture of tension rather than one of support and development - Toxic, negative, pressure cooker environment where management treats you like a disposable asset.
