Pros

Half day fridays in the summer

Cons

Elitist Culture of political correctness and passive-aggressiveness (good luck resolving conflicts) The place is full of political hires who were hired and retained on the basis of their "diversity" but who are inept and ultimately bring down the capacity of their teams All about who you know, not your talent or contributions Leaders lead via whimsey and not strategy Zero accountability - coworkers are blatantly fraudulent (time theft, time sheet fraud, abuse of pto) and are not held accountable Management gossips and avoids taking responsibility, passes work off to others
