There are lots of managers and leaders, with small teams. And each little group does things their own way (this is true at a lot of companies, but probably not as much as it happens here). If you get lucky and end up on a project with a good manager and good teammates, you're good (relatively). But there's no consistency - for example you could end up with a manager who doesn't know what they are doing, has you working constant overtime, and teammates that don't contribute anything. And there are multiple managers who will try to pull you into their projects and tell you what to do (think Office Space). Upper management is totally uninvolved, as long as teams and managers meet deadlines and they don't hear customer complaints. Work environment is mostly open, with no cubicles and no privacy. It can be loud since you hear everyone around you, and bright since the lights are blazing down all day, with windows wide open. Some people who have worked here a long time got promoted just by being there a long time, and there are a small number of people who do most of the work, and some who don't do much. Not a good place for new people to learn either - you need the experience and self-motivation to do work and learn on your own. If you can do this, it isn't completely horrible, but probably not a place you want to work long-term.
