Pros

Good for executives, and directors they can enjoy bossism.

Cons

No work life balance, some of directors of engineering will NOT treat employees respectfully, they just want to look good to their boss, they will push on unrealistic things just by joining the company few months back. So there will be always turnarounds and openings in company website. consider this as last option. working like old manufacturing company , taking work from engineers by threatening by removing from job. no motivation strategy . not good process to execute the work, but these directors have no idea about the current process.

Minor leaguers trying to play with the pros

Pros

People - Some of the best people around. Many have left recently which is sad. Hope - Change (positive) is needed. Everyone knows it. There is still hope it might happen someday.

Cons

Upper management - Still trying to run the company like it is a $300M HWY 59 company vs. the $2B global company it is now. Hopelessness - Positive change will not occur until there are changes with top management. Giving incompetent people more power and influence is not a good business plan. I'll stop here.

They took jeans day away

Pros

Great parking lot, cafe' is average, building is extremely new, we had a jeans day, people tend to be grumpy if your into that kind of thing.

Cons

FIRST, before we get into anything else. Why would a company implement an jeans day for their employee's and then take it back? This is a great example of how out of touch and screwed up some of our companies policies are. This puts the icing on the cake for me. We're slipping down a path of brain drain. All the high performers across the company are leaving, which is leaves sub par talent that is overworked and over stressed. Upper level management that have been there for 10+ years at the VP and SVP levels have never seen how a functioning company works and are steering us from a skewed point of view. Years of bad hiring decisions and policy have left most core functions in the company with agressive employees that don't work well in teams. Or people in charge of departments they shouldn't be.
