      Politics, Favoritism and Nepotism

      Pros

      There are no pros here.

      Cons

      Tons of politics and favoritism. People are promoted to leadership positions because they are close to the CEOs or they have been at Panda for a long time. This company does not value performance and intelligence. There are a lot of incompetent people in HR who are overtitled. They waste the company's money and then try to hide it from the founders. And when you bring up issues to the HR department, good luck seeing any change. They also work to protect the favoritism and nepotism in the company. There's a complete disregard for decency and respect. Bullying and harassment are not addressed and questions around unlawful/unethical practices are ignored. People do not leave the company because the bonuses and stock options pay out well. If you want a lot of money and have a high tolerance for incompetency, politics, amorality and toxicity, then this is the company for you.

      Pros

      The bonus program is good. Health insurance is good. 401k is decent.

      Cons

      Senior management is a nightmare. Unrealistic expectations without regards to the time and effort it takes to complete a task. Many aren't qualified to lead their team, some play favorites, but most create a toxic environment. Middle management seems to only listen to senior management and is quite dismissive of the people below them. Politics is ridiculous; it's like being in the middle of Game of Thrones, and the non-managers are the ones who suffer. Also, too many meetings and nothing gets done.

      Pros

      Everyone is friendly. Lots of peers.

      Cons

      Even tho everyone is friendly, they are taught to. Some HR managers should not be managers. They do not have the people skills to lead a team. There is a lot of cultural obstacles you are forced to jump through to keep your job. I never felt so much anxiety in a job.
