this is a company with an identity crisis. they want to appear to be professional grown players, but don't actually know how to get there. management is nepotism at its finest, way too many people making decisions with their only qualification being having the right drinking partner at the keg on Friday afternoon. for a company that claims to be so process oriented, just because you have a system that contains processes doesn't mean that the processes make sense in todays high tech world. this company has the look and feel of companies i worked for in the 90s...too much growth with not enough competition and and exaggerated sense of self worth. it will only take a viable competitor to knock them off the pedestal and send them into a fate of being purchased for pennies on the dollar.

- some really terrible peers, in terms of character, lots of politics and backstabing, lots of cc with manager emails for no good reason - some teams over worked, 12-14 hour days - rhetoric of the company does not match the reality, they say one thing, but there's always an excuse to not follow through - People in HR / Hiring has personally told me they will bid the lowest they can go, and only recently have they starting to offer slightly more due to lack of talent / interest - culture is slowly degenerating due to influx of low talent hires from " surrounding " companies, you can figure it out on your own what I mean - nepotism is very high, growth is nearly impossible if you don't play the political game or know someone who will go to bat for you - middle management is often handcuffed to get the resources they need or are lied to by upper management due to politics.
