Selfish senior management

Pros

Most colleagues are nice to work with.

Cons

Company's board and upper management only care about profits and share price, whilst employees are given no thought. Well below average annual pay rises. No company stock options for employees. Severely short staffed, and almost impossible to add resources to teams.
