Business Outlook

Pros

* People were generally nice. * WLB was great. * Sense of mission was present. * Interesting work.

Cons

* Upper management was pretty awful in general. * Politics over effectiveness/competency to the max. * Company's business direction is obviously not going to work but decision making at the top is very secretive and makes hilariously poor decisions in general.
