Pros

New office so desks and chairs are still clean.

Cons

1. No means of work/life balance A) HQ development team not understanding timezone differences. sometimes people calling at 1 or 2AM. B) Management asking to have a meeting at 2AM / 3AM in the morning & not attending to it. C) too dependent on one person. Once involved in 8 deals all running in parallel. D) even after resignation, constantly calling for help. Management not thinking this is a shame Once or twice, is understandable but almost everyday is not understandable. Side effect of counting too much on one person, but have no plans of increasing because of laws. 2. Corporate culture A) scream more to get more (complain a lot for a raise) B) too many resignations (due to lack of management and harassment) C) not a manufacturer, but a solutions provider. no or little knowledge of manufacturing. D) Constantly preaching value (consulting), but in the end follow customer needs. 3. Threatens to fire for arrogation of authority but Sales controlling the Application engineers. Does not realize that is also considered an arrogation of authority.

Pros

A handful of talented good people.

Cons

The most beige, boring office you will ever see. No opportunities for growth. Many senior leaders with no vision, refuse to invest in tools, people or process. This place is going absolutely nowhere very fast. Incredibly short sighted management constantly making decisions based on quarterly earnings reports instead of the long term health of the company. Just a soul sucking place to be at times.
