Love the people, but they lack a big picture plan

Pros

Great, talented people work here. They're passionate about what they do. Laid back office atmosphere. Open door policy.

Cons

Lack of any type of plan from upper management. It's like being on a ship without a captain. They're laying off people left and right without any consideration for anyone. The office morale is awful.
