Good engineers, but worst managers ever.

Pros

A few good engineers run the whole show; very focused senior managment & board of directors, but blind folded about acute toxic environment created by first line managers; NC office has a great management team, engineering and consulting teams and very welcoming work culture; Brand name;

Cons

It really depends on the geo and department you work with; NC - US is a awesome place; BNE engineering team is great aswell, support services is pathetic; Be cautious while signing job offer, ask about of hidden policies, extra work hours, weekend work in advance etc, which will never be reveilved initially or put in black and white, unofficial request's for additional work hours (although engineers put it a lot more hours); first line managers don't have any opensource back ground; No well defined processes in place; managers are good at blame game; forget work life balance; Managers are good with politics and telling blatent lies.
