Pros

Direct management is good and flexibility

Cons

Top leadership lacks communication. Layoffs continue to happen across the organization. Promotions are not fairly awarded. Limited career growth. Used to be a great place to work and spent over 10 years with the organization but with recent changes from the investment group, it’s been a continuous change in culture. Low pay for workload.
