Pros

Lunch provided on site Mon-Thur

Cons

Incredibly US centric. Employee communications are poor. Processes that are there 'because that's how we have always done it' The culture isn't quite toxic but it's close. There is an atmosphere of fear among employees because the leadership seem to make changes on a whim and no one knows what is coming next! As a result knowledge is guarded rather than shared.

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
