The worst management ever

Pros

Used to have some really nice people smart and talented, but I doubt they are still there as they are still there, because they are smart and talented.

Cons

As many have said, where do you start. I feel damaged for working here, it's that abusive. So many problems, mostly around how they treat their staff. HR are too inexperienced so they just follow the orders of the abusing senior management in implementing a regime of misery and humiliation. The slightest error by an employee, including saying you are unhappy to a colleague and they slam you with a performance improvement program. This "non-disciplinary" step to help you will see you automatically disqualified for bonus, pay rise and gets a does not meet expectation appraisal. If you don't shape up you are out. I didn't get one, but as a manager I was forced to manage these PIPs for two of my staff, who's only crime was to be unhappy at the unfair treatment handed out from above. The senior managers are utterly clueless. Waterfall is best, and no matter how well agile delivers EVERYTHING is a problem that needs micromanagement. The CTO doesn't care about anyone and just wanders round pointing out people that "needs to not be working here" just because he saw them look at their mobile phone once. And it's impossible to get into this elite club, as a manager joining this company they expect you to show leadership (because they know they need it) but don't allow any leadership style that differs from their own dreadful abuse. As a manager you have absolutely no authority to make any decision, you are micromanaged to the max by these clowns.

Pros

Potential to earn good money. Vibrant working environment. Friendly colleagues. Dress down Fridays Incentives can be great (when actually followed up)

Cons

Commission structure poorly thought out. Talk time, talk time, talk time! The company doesn’t listen to its employees even after mass exodus. Lack of care in harnessing talent. People encouraged to leave rather than the company taking a look at its self and see where they are failing. Kick offs have the Same message every quarter. Managers completly out of touch. Constantly referring to “when I was on the phone ..” but haven’t been on the phone for over 5 years...still expect sleazy, outdated sales methods to work. Certain managers seem to be in senior positions due to being part of the furniture, rather than merit.
