Pros
My immediate coworkers were a smart, driven group. Work was interesting and despite the hectic pace and poor direction for our high-level executives, everyone was on the same team and pushing to deliver great products in aggressive timelines. I have made lifelong friends here, and the quality of my coworkers was outstanding.
Cons
Executive management is running this company into the ground. Moronic acquisition attempts lead to layoffs, "optimistic" earnings estimates that borderline on fantasy all leading to friction when the situation meets reality. Watching the upper echelons blindly fumble through their days while handwaving real issues such as employee compensation and retention was painful. Constantly missed bonus payouts despite crunch time to accommodate poorly managed projects was the norm.
