Pros

Some of the people are very friendly and try to make the most of their work day. Some of the managers actually care about the employees and do their best to protect them from being overloaded. They have a beautiful office and do have nice small rewards given to people who show initiative.

Cons

The senior management doesn't understand how their company works or where the issue lie. This is mostly because middle management filters out all of the bad news when reporting up and it creates a lot of confusion in managing projects. It's full of many yes men. There is a heavy culture of blame in the company. Instead of taking a step back and seeing that as a group mistakes were made, the "leaders" are reactionary and try to blame one another to take the fall for it. It's not uncommon to see retaliation when upper management tries to micromanage and people stand up for themselves. I've seen a fair amount of people come out of a room crying when trying to provide counter proposals to an idea. Their plan for growth isn't sustainable. They are stressing their employees by taking on more work and refusing to give them more resources to get it done. Instead of investing in the people they only invest in making the company look good to outsiders. The meetings are usually an exercise in ego boosting for the company and upper management rather than admitting where they went wrong and trying to be transparent in what carefully considered steps they will take to fix things. They ask for their employees to do triple the work than their job descriptions lay out, and they don't pay even half of what other companies offer for similar positions. If you can avoid it, do so.
