Pros

- great working relationships within specific teams - day-to-day tasks are fulfilling

Cons

- culture being introduced by the CEO and executives is strongly "company-first" - very aggressive about asking employees to leave if "the culture isn't for you" - different departments run specific agendas, do not work well together - executive tone in communication to employees lacks respect, often comes across as angry or extremely entitled

Pros

HR department was decent to deal with.

Cons

- Lack of focus on strategy, seemingly endless shifts in priorities week to week, month to month, year after year. Not congruent change, not progressive change, but chaotic disorienting change. - Upper management claims to have an absolute "No A-holes" policy, claims to want to encourage cooperation and growth. Then turns around and is fully complacent with obviously toxic behavior from people in positions of authority, especially technical authority. These toxic interactions gradually wore down people's desire to engage.
