Pros

Nice coworkers across different departments

Cons

The company has poor communication and seems to be on their way out. There have been mass layoffs which did not allow many of us advance notification. In general, the environment around the office is in low spirits and has been for a long time. Management doesn't communicate what's actually happening. There is also no room for growth with the level of micromanagement they have.
