Pros

Talented people, physical resources to get the job done.

Cons

Human resources are not valued. Instead of having enough people, or in valuing depth of product knowledge, they will lay off people as soon as any sales or market shift happens. The knowledge they've let go far exceeds whatever is left and the products suffer and the team members left behind to pick up the mess suffer even more.

Pros

smartest, honorable, ethical, insightful coworkers I've ever had.

Cons

no checks and balances, no separation of church and state, no systemic accountability, ZERO benchmarking and forecasting for setting managers/divisions/department annual fiscal expectations. Living insanity, all must act like its normal. this just scratches the surface. there is much that is disturbing in this organization. It took three years to accept the cute man who smiles graciously to all, takes pleasure in reminding people their lives are in his hold. Public (in meetings with many people, sometimes 20 plus) degradation of staff in front of others. Its always the smart ones, the hard working he does this to. To the boy bimbo crew he keeps around, this is done more privately. Maybe just a couple of the bimbo crew present. They have security. He'll yell and degrade them. Nothing to do with business at all. ZERO. The company(ies) are the platform he uses to express his cold, dark psyche. Only incompetents make him feel powerful. He is such an incompetent, he couldn't even come up with his own platform for his vomit, he just used what Daddy gave him.

Pros

Market leader, great products, great place for learning the DONT'S in a company

Cons

There is a secret and systematic pact like of "Play Along" I'll hide your mistakes if you hide mines pact for when a group of people is questioned about what went wrong that keeps the management in a world of wonders totally disconnected of the reality of their operations, talent eventually find another place so the company is ruled by poor performers
