Pros

Nothing really to add here

Cons

Long hours. Not able to use the vacation time you are given because there is always a major problem happening. Horrible leadership from C-suite and the two layers below them. Antiquated systems and processes. Too many people who have been there for far too long. No innovation. C-suite is failing at executing the merger. All the really good, talented people are leaving.

Pros

A lot of nice people. Benefits are comparable to similar sized companies. Some leaders are great, so you will enjoy your job if you're lucky enough to work for one of them.

Cons

There is little to no strategic direction. Generally, you will need to leave the company to be promoted. Pay is below average. Hours are long; the company has been lean for years, and now with layoffs from the acquisition, fewer people are expected to do more work, plus all the work of integration. The best employees have left.
