Pros

Free Lunch...yup free lunch, uhm..."unlimited vacation"--wait--if you take it, you get the hairy eyeball because if your really important, you brag about how you work all night, all weekend...

Cons

Where to begin? Arrogant, all knowing executive management who openly stab there own staff members in the back...management knows all, everybody else is STUPID...you need to be in the office to "be seen", but you can hear a pin drop..zero corporate culture zero fun,..most of the leaders worked together in the past and the way it was done at the previous company is "the way"...the entire HR team quit--that tells ya something!

Pros

* Free lunch in the office. * Good tech solving real problems and improving the safety of the pharma supply chain. * Smart contributor and manager-level employees.

Cons

* CEO and COO don't trust the people they hire and micromanage often. When something fails, you get blamed despite an executive taking a major role in shifting it from your vision to the current state. * Penny pinching and outsourcing constantly without considering the downstream consequences. Example: Cutting an experienced contractor to use a cheap foreign freelancer from an online marketplace, resulting in deliverable delays that affect board presentations. * General poor treatment of talent. Horror stories like pressuring people to finish work over the holidays for SKO, when in reality they were being laid off. Layoffs happen annually. An incredible amount of hiring from the outside instead of promoting within too. * Terrible RTO push. Went from attributing growth during COVID to how good we were at WFH to completely eliminating remote work opportunities and mandating 5 days in office.
