Super toxic

Pros

The benefits are excellent which is the reason most stay even though the culture is completely toxic.

Cons

Sadly the culture has become toxic over the past couple years and is only worsening. Upper management has a talk track but are pushing down a very toxic culture that people managers are implementing . It's either get in line or get out. The work environment used to support creativity and strategic thinking, but that's been squashed completely.
