Depending on who is your manager, your experience can vary widely. In general management does not do a good job of making sure information flows all the way down the ladder, nor does it solicit input from those two or more steps below on the hierarchy. It is often said that management is open to input, just make sure it is not something they do not want to hear. Because employees are very intelligent, they also tend to have an ego. This causes friction when neither party can accept that they may be wrong.

Blind to faults or shortcomings of products. Too much "build it because we know best" mentality. There would be more career opportunities if the economy was better. Recent reduction in force ensured senior management got their bonuses at the expense of those who lost their jobs. Nothing noted or released to the press that the executives were foregoing their bonuses to keep the company in the black. The culture is one of fostering growth, but the problem is that people hoard data and information to make themselves more important. There are also the usual "clique" type mentalities that have to be dealt with in order to get information and to get ahead. Leadership is good, but unilateral. You're expected to pull yourself up by your bootstraps without the moral boost if you don't work in a corporate office.
