Pros

Some decent people still hanging about in the cracks

Cons

No direction, couple years of bad leadership and decisions has affected the atmosphere all round. Most of the good people have left, any remaining are just tools down till they find something elsewhere or they get made redundant.

Pay was okay, HR tried, tough to find any of late.

Favoritism of the highest level between the senior leadership team and their gang. Sudden firings without any explanation of teams has happened multiple times this year. No happiness amongst the teams as a result of bad leadership behavious, fear and anger at the decline of a place we used to call our workplace.
