Pros

Govt like work culture - relaxed environment

Cons

Poor focus on customer problems - people working on random stuff May be it is in end of life stage due to poor quality hiring and direction dishonest management - guard rails for employees safety (career & health) are missing HR is useless and unnecessary they eat all your leaves. I even saw notebooks, pens locked in a cupboard - no trust among team members.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
