Pros

Pleasant, capable co-workers below the mid and upper management levels. Some employees have the option to work from home.

Cons

Very chaotic environment. Much of the working day is spent attempting to deal with non-effective processes chosen by management. Frequent layoffs hurt morale and result in a lack of functional knowledge. Company lacks the ability to make smart products. Mid and upper management does not come from higher education and does not truly understand the products.
