Pros

Managers give the employees a lot of tools to get the job done.

Cons

HR is awful and a culture of dictators. I have never worked at a company where HR had so much power to screw things up. Not a place to go if you’re good at what you do. Many senior manager dictators and they soon will get fired or moved so it creates a lot of instability and reorganizations.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
