Pros
This is no doubt that most autocratic organization I've ever worked at. I had thought that organizations managed like this were only from bygone eras but the autocratic management style thrives at Mercy. What does this mean? It means that it is centrally managed and trivial decisions are made at high levels. Information and instructions are passed ONLY down. NEVER upward. Senior and mid level meetings consist of the most senior associate passing instructions to more junior associates. Little or no discussion. No back and forth. This is probably good for entry level people who want to learn quickly and have small salary requirements. Management can quickly replace one junior engineer with another.
Cons
If you want to work with senior and very smart people, this is not the place. Neither the salary nor culture provide any incentive to stay once you have reached a strong level of competency.
