Pros

The people, what are left of them at least. The technology, the gear discounts. The passion for the industry and love of product is...err...was pervasive.

Cons

Clueless executive staff are running the company into the ground. They could care less about the products, customers, or the employees. Their only goal is to keep cutting and offshoring until they can show a profit. Then problem is we are entering a death spiral, engineers are leaving in droves, which is causing more more engineers to start looking, which is causing testers and project managers to start looking. Yeah, executive staff will eventually show a profit, due to the fact that we'll still be able to sell products for a while and they won't be paying employees. Employees are the biggest hit to the balance sheet you know!

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
