Pros

Snacks, office, catered breakfast/lunch sometimes, friendly employees

Cons

- Not a competitive salary so employee loss and under-engagement don't surprise me - There seems to be intentional understaffing as if company is preparing for a sale. - Lots of propaganda and koolaid being served. - The executive/upper management teams try to make employees feel responsible for making up for their lack of planning through the "going pro" initiative. Things (procedures, systems, team coordination) don't work well and it makes it very hard to do my job.
